“This has been a goal of mine since I started playing basketball, and I’ve worked incredibly hard,” Brathwaite said. “The Brookline community has supported me through my career.”
Going into the 2015 season, Brathwaite, a 6-foot-4-inch center, is ranked as the 16th best female basketball player in the state by Mass Prep Stars. She averaged a double-double last season and was awarded a Bay State All Star honorable mention for her performance.
The UNH Wildcats play in the Division I America East Conference.
