@DuqWBB Sign Four to NLI

PITTSBURGH – Duquesne head women's basketball coach Dan Burt has announced the signing of Amaya Hamilton, Precious Johnson, Snezhe Serafimoska and Bernada Rreshpja to National Letters of Intent.

The Class of 2019 represent four countries - Albania, Macedonia, Sweden and United States. 
 
Amaya Hamilton
6-2
Wing
Fishers, Ind.
Hamilton Southeastern
Spiece Lady Gym Rats
 
Highlights:
  • Indiana Junior All-Star
  • Associated Press All-State Honorable Mention
  • Central Indiana girls basketball Super Team Honorable Mention
  • Underclass Large School All-State performer
  • Led Fishers to the championship game of the IHSAA Class 4A Section 8 Girls Basketball State Tournament
Burt on Hamilton: Amaya is a winner. She will play multiple positions for Duquesne. Her ability to shoot the 3-pointer, rebound well on both ends of the floor and defend multiple positions will allow Amaya a strong case to play early in her career at Duquesne.

Precious Johnson
6-3
Center
Helsingborg, Sweden
Marks Gymnasieskola (HC Karin Inger Key)
 
Highlights:
  • Member of the U18 and U20 Swedish National Teams
  • Led the Wild Mustangs to a fourth place finish at the FIBA 3x3 Sweden Tour Finals
  • 6.6 ppg and 9.6 rpg at the 2018 FIBA U18 Championships
  • Father, Stewart Johnson, is a Clairton, Pa. native and the ninth all-time leading scorer in ABA history
  • Is an American citizen
Burt on Johnson: Precious is a center with very good size, strength and the ability to rebound outside of her space. We expect her to make an immediate impact on the glass and the defensive end. Precious has good range to the short corner/high post area and drives the ball well for a center.

Snezhe Serafimoska
6-4
Forward
Gostivar, Macedonia
Nebraska City (NE)
Cornhusker Shooting Stars
 
Highlights:
  • Member of the Macedonian Senior National Team
  • Selected to the 2018 Under Armour All-American Game
  • Becomes Duquesne's first player born in Macedonia
  • Is a United States citizen
Burt on Serafimoska: Snezhe has guard-like skills but will be a developmental redshirt for us in her first year as she will need to add size and strength to her frame. Her hook shot in the post and ability to shoot the 3pt shot off the pick and pop at 6-4 will be a difficult match up for opponents. With great effort, Snezhe's upside is unlimited.
 
 
Bernada Rreshpja
5-10
Guard
Shkodër, Albania
Valley Christian Academy (CA)
Sac Sting (HC Matt Rominger)
 
Highlights:
  • Team captain of the Albanian U18 and Senior National team

  • Becomes Duquesne's first player born in Albania
Burt on Rreshpja: Bernada is a strong, athletic off guard who is a very good shooter beyond the 3-point line. She is crafty with the ball and will be able to get to the rim also. We are very excited about her offensive game and what she brings to the team.
