Wisconsin signs four in the Class of 2026

MADISON, Wis. – Head coach Marisa Moseley has announced the signing of four athletes to National Letters of Intent on Wednesday. Moseley's first Badger class includes two four-star recruits.

Lily Krahn, a 5-foot-9 guard from Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin; Tessa Towers, a 6-foot-5 center from Batavia, Illinois; Savannah White, a 6-foot-2 guard from St. Paul, Minnesota; and Serah Williams, a 6-foot-4 forward from Toronto,
Ontario, will join the Badgers in 2022.

"I am thrilled to introduce Wisconsin Women's Basketball's class of 2026," Moseley said. "Each of these dynamic young women are the epitome of what a Badger women's basketball player embodies. They are all hardworking, team-first winners who are also fantastic role models and future leaders. These four are exactly what college athletics is all about. They all come to Madison from their own unique walks of life and will come together under one roof with the same goal in mind—to win championships!"

"Throughout their respective recruiting processes, we discussed what it would mean to become a member of this program and what expectations I not only had for them as players, but for us collectively as a team. They all believe in my vision for this team and understand what they can do individually to make it a reality! I feel honored to coach them and cannot wait to get started."
