Ryle grad Abby Holtman spent two seasons with the women’s basketball team at the University of Cincinnati and is now headed to Mercer University in Georgia. 

She appeared in 48 games for the Bearcats over the two years, including all 28 in her sophomore season. She had three games where she hit at least two 3-pointers this past season. 

Now she’ll play for former Cincinnati coach Michelle Clark-Heard, who recruited Holtman to UC but was let go after Holtman’s freshman season. Mercer went 8-22 in Clark-Heard’s first season this past year, going 3-11 in Southern Conference play.

Holtman is the program record holder for 3-pointers made at Ryle with 290. She finished her Ryle career with 1,611 points and 504 rebounds.
