Ukrainian player Kate Koval cleared to join Baylor after leaving LSU
Ukrainian basketball player Kate Koval has been granted a transfer waiver to join Baylor University after leaving Louisiana State University because they signed a Russian player. The waiver clears the administrative hurdle for her move from LSU to Baylor. BBC Sport reported the transfer and the reason Koval left LSU. The reporting says LSU’s signing of a Russian player prompted Koval’s decision to depart the programme and seek a new team. The waiver enables Koval to continue her college career with Baylor.
