Hope Counts brings rim protection and size to Lipscomb’s backcourt
In the 2025-26 season, Hope Counts flashed true impact-player traits for Lipscomb: 30 games, 17 starts, 25.3 minutes per game, 11.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.0 blocks, and a 53% field-goal clip in an ASUN Freshman of the Week stretch, plus a program-record 11 blocks in one game.[8][9][6] At 6-foot-2, the Minnesota product gives the Lady Bisons a rare guard who can alter shots, rebound like a forward, and bring all-out energy; she was also a McDonald’s All-American nominee and a four-time state champion at Providence Academy, which screams winning pedigree.[13][15]
