THE Mount Gambier Pioneers women have added a major piece to their 2023 NBL1 South roster with the re-signing of Haliegh Reinoehl.
The 188cm American was one of two overseas imports who were key players in the OneFortyOne Pioneers roster in 2022.
For her to be the first player to have re-signed with the Pioneers is big news for the club.
Reinoehl played four years of college basketball in the starting five with Akron with her performances improving with each successive year.
In 2020-21 she played in Switzerland and averaged 17.5 points per game and 9.3 rebounds.
In her debut season for the Pioneers, Reinoehl experienced some disruption with a broken hand early in the season but still played 19 matches.
She averaged 11.05 points and 6.89 rebounds per game and was an important part of the team’s success.
Head coach Matt Sutton said he was pleased Reinoehl will be back the 2023 season.
“I am extremely happy to have Haliegh back with our program for another year,” he said.
“She was an extremely positive influence on our program and within the community during 2022.
“She had a disrupted season with the hand break, so we look forward to her having a full and healthy season.
“She will come back an even better player for 2023.”
