Illinois transfer remains in the Big Ten
The senior joins the Badgers from the Fighting Illini after missing the entire 2024–25 season due to injury.
Bollin began her collegiate career at Duke, where she appeared in eight games off the bench. The Raynham, Massachusetts native transferred to Illinois for her sophomore season, playing in 29 games. She shot 34.4 percent from three-point range and 43.4 percent from the field. Bollin averaged 2.1 points and 1.3 rebounds per game, totaling 38 rebounds, including 12 on the offensive end, along with 14 assists, 5 steals, and 2 blocks.
At Bridgewater-Raynham Regional High School, Bollin was a three-time team captain. During her four-year career, the team posted a 67–13 record and captured four consecutive undefeated conference championships.
"I'm beyond excited to begin this next chapter at Wisconsin," said Bollin. "From the moment I connected with the coaches and players, it just felt like home. I can't wait to grow both on and off the court, and chase big goals while representing the Badgers."
