Avery Koenen is the Summit League’s heavyweight force for NDSU
In the 2025-26 season, Avery Koenen turned into a matchup nightmare for North Dakota State: she won Summit League Player of the Year, led the league in rebounding, and posted 19.4 points and 21 double-doubles while setting the Bison single-season rebound record with 366. She’s a 6-3 frontcourt bully who finishes through contact, rebounds like she owns the paint, and brings rare consistency with award-level production all season long. If you need a physical, high-motor forward who impacts winning on both ends, she’s absolutely worth the hype.
