Nia Coffey
Rising star Nia Coffey gave a Big Ten verbal commitment earlier this week, but she's headed south.
The Hopkins forward informed Northwestern of her decision on Wednesday morning, Royals coach Brian Cosgriff confirmed.
Coffey, a 6-foot lefty, is the 43rd-ranked junior in the country and the 13th-best forward according to ESPN Hoop Gurlz. Her 15.6 points per game this season lead Hopkins, which lost its first game of the season Tuesday night to Wayzata.
