New Minnesota women’s basketball coach Lindsay Whalen has hired former teammate Kelly Roysland as an assistant.

Roysland and Carly Thibault-DuDonis will both join Whalen’s staff this season with the Gophers.

Roysland is a native of Fosston, Minnesota. She was a freshman in 2004 when Whalen was a senior and the Gophers reached the NCAA Final Four.
