Savanna Trapp Out Indefinitely
LOS ANGELES – UCLA Head Women’s Basketball Coach Cori Close announced today that redshirt freshman Savanna Trapp is out indefinitely due to personal reasons.
Trapp, a 6-foot-9-inch center out of Esko, Minn., will remain with the program on scholarship.
“Savanna is part of our family, and we wish nothing but the best for her,” said Close. “We look forward to supporting Savanna as she shifts her focus off the court for the time being and are hopeful she will be able to rejoin the team.”
Trapp, who redshirted the 2013-14 campaign for the Bruins, holds Esko High School career records in field goal percentage (.631) and blocks (667) and is the co-leader in field goals made (814).
After an exhibition game with Westmont on Nov. 2 (2:00 p.m.), the Bruins will open the season with four straight NCAA Tournament teams, starting with two rematches on the road against opponents that took down the Bruins last year. UCLA will open at James Madison (Colonial Athletic Association, 29-6) in Harrisonburg, Va., on Nov. 14 and then head to Chapel Hill, N.C., to face North Carolina (ACC, 27-10) on Nov. 16. JMU lost in the second round of the NCAA Tournament a year ago, while the Tar Heels fell at Stanford in the Elite 8. The Bruins will host Texas in their home opener on Nov. 23 on the Pac-12 Networks at 1:00 p.m.
