The Washington women's basketball team will add a walk-on to its roster next season, and the name should be familiar with fans of the men's program.

Kassia Fortier, whose father Paul is an assistant coach with the men's basketball team, will be the fourth player to join the Huskies for the 2010-11 season. Fortier played her prep ball at Skyline High School, where she averaged 14 points and five rebounds per game. She also led her the Lady Spartans in steals with 64.

The 5-10 wing player was selected first-team all KingCo in 2009 and was a team captain. In addition, Fortier ran track for Skyline, competing in the 4x100 and the 4x200, qualifying for states in both events.
