We look forward to having Patrice join us at Northwestern. We are confident that she will make significant contributions to the basketball program and to the campus community.”

A three-year letter winner and third baseman in softball, Peters batted .241 with three stolen bases as a junior. A member of the honor roll, Peters plans to major in special education at Northwestern. She is the daughter of Kennis and Sandra.
