Notre Dame signee Kate Koval makes 2024 McDonald’s All-America team
Notre Dame women’s basketball has an extensive history of signing McDonald’s All-Americans. Add Brookville (N.Y.) Long Island Lutheran center Kate Koval to the list. She was named to the 2024 McDonald’s All-American team on Tuesday.
The No. 5 overall player in the country per ESPN’s recruiting rankings, Koval was the 2022-23 Gatorade New York Girls Basketball Player of the Year with 15.1 points, 11.7 rebounds and 3.4 blocks per game. She shot 60.7 percent from the floor. She’s currently Notre Dame’s only signee in the class of 2024.
Koval is one of three players from Long Island Lutheran named to the McDonald’s All-American team in the same year. It’s the first time that’s ever happened. She’s joined by Syla Swords and Kayleigh Heckel.
