Lynne Fishler, a top international student-athlete from Ramat Gan, Israel, will look to make her senior campaign for the Bearkats a remarkable one.  Lynne has paved her own way from year one and now looks to be a more viable resource for the Bearkats as well as a senior leader. 

Lynne has represented her youth Israeli national team since she was 12 years old and has been a constant contributor to her countries success especially over the last 5 years as a member of the Adult National Team for Israel.  Lynne is coming off a career best top 16 finish at the Women’s European Championships in 2018, and a solid showing at the Women’s World Championships this past August in Las Vegas. 

“Lynne is a talented young lady who has competed at a high level internationally for her country,” Bearkat coach Brad Hagen said. “Her competitive experiences to date and her work ethic will play intricate roles in her future success.”

As a junior this past season, Fishler helped lead the Bearkats to their first Southland Conference Championship and a bid to the NCAA Championships for the 8^thtime in the program’s nine years.  Fishler was huge contributor in the Championships match against Vanderbilt delivering some key marks to help the Kats capture their first SBL Championship.
