CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – University of Illinois women's basketball head coach Shauna Green announced Saturday (April 23) the signing of Dayton transfer forward Brynn Shoup-Hill.

Shoup-Hill, a former prep standout at Goshen High School in Goshen, Ind., played for Green as a true freshman at Dayton in 2021-22. She will join the Fighting Illini for the 2022-23 season, along with former UD teammate Makira Cook and NC State transfer Genesis Bryant; all three signees will have three seasons of collegiate eligibility remaining.

• Appeared in 23 games at Dayton in 2021-22, helping the Flyers to the Atlantic 10 regular-season championship and an NCAA Tournament berth.
• Averaged 6.0 minutes, 1.8 points and 1.0 rebounds per game in a reserve role as a true freshman at UD.
• Reached double-figures scoring twice – including a career-high 14 points vs. Illinois State – and tallied four games with at least three rebounds.
• Played a career-high 19 minutes in Dayton's NCAA Tournament matchup in the Round of 64 vs. Georgia.
• Finished as Goshen High School's career leader in points, rebounds, blocks and free throws, while earning four first-team all-conference selections.

Why Illinois: "The University of Illinois is a great fit for me on and off the court. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to continue my playing career with Coach Green and her staff at a school that will provide endless opportunities. Also factoring into my decision was the amazing art department at Illinois."

Green's Take: "I am thrilled to have Brynn joining our Illini family. She is someone who understands our system and will come make an immediate impact on our program. She gained valuable experience last year and a great understanding for how we want to play on both ends of the floor. Brynn is someone who can play inside and out with the ability to shoot the ball at an elite level. You do not see a lot of players that are 6-foot-3 and are knock down three-point shooters like she is. She gives us the versatility to play her both on the low block and perimeter which is a huge asset to our team. I am excited to see her continue to grow here at Illinois."
