"Priyanca is a player with huge potential and we are very excited she has accepted the offer to be part of our program," said TRU Women's Basketball Head Coach Goran Nogic. 

"Her shooting abilities and especially shooting speed as well as her game understanding are the qualities that drew our attention to her in the last year. I am sure that her work ethic and very competitive character will help our team to play at a higher level in the future."

The 5-10, 140-lb Sundher is excited to be joining the 'Pack and studying science at TRU next fall.

"I am fortunate to have signed with TRU especially during this unusual pandemic year. I look forward to learning from Coach Nogic to not only develop my basketball skills but also help me grow as a student-athlete," she said. "I am excited to play and train in the new state-of-the-art facility and welcome the challenges that are before me. I am happy that TRU also offers an excellent science program. I now consider the WolfPack my new family and hope to build lifelong friendships at TRU."
