Merritt Hempe joins the Taronja project

25/05/2023

Valencia Basket's project continues to take firm steps in the elite of women's basketball. The team's fifth season in the top flight has culminated with the achievement of the Club's first LF Endesa title, adding the fourth trophy to its trophy cabinet. A historic team with a base of players who have been competing together for several years under the orders of Rubén Burgos and with an important commitment to the young players of L'Alqueria del Basket, who have been able to help at all times and have shown themselves to be the present and future of basketball.


After the success of this season, the Club maintains the commitment to this mix of experience and youth, so the 23/24 squad will have 10 professional players to which will be added again young players who can help the professional team while they continue to develop their talent.


Within that philosophy, Valencia Basket has reached an agreement with the inside player Merritt Hempe (1994, USA/North Macedonia, 1.91m) to join the taronja project next season. The American player joins the recently incorporated Nadia Fingall, the return of Bec Allen, the renewed Marie Gülich and Leticia Romero, and Raquel Carrera, Cristina Ouviña and Queralt Casas, players who have a current contract with the Club.
