Annalese Lamke admits there are days where she still has a “fangirl” moment toward her new coach.

Lamke, a 6-foot-3 Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau High School graduate, is entering her senior season as a center for the University of Minnesota women’s basketball team. And, her new coach, Lindsay Whalen, is someone Lamke has admired for a long time...

...“It’s such a different experience having a coach be in the drills with you,” Lamke said. “Even the rest of the coaching staff has been really involved with the things we do. It’s been unique to have a hands-on coaching staff.”..

...Lamke didn’t play much in Minnesota’s successful journey that ended in the NCAA Tournament last season, but her senior season may be different.

“There’s no one else on our roster like Annalese and I think she sees that,” O’Banion said. “She sees herself as a senior to really make the impact that she hoped she could.”

O’Banion says that Lamke has lost 10 pounds since the Gophers’ season ended, which has helped with her mobility
