Hamden, CT. –  Quinnipiac women's basketball head coach Roman Owen announced the signing of three student-athletes this week, welcoming Kashae Brown, Maddie Broxterman, and Maayan Gorin to the Bobcats' program. The three signees represent Coach Owen's first recruiting class at Quinnipiac.
Kashae Brown – Wing – Muskogee, OK – Muskogee HS
"We are thrilled to add Kashae Brown. Not only is she a really good player, but she is an exceptional person. She brings a level of explosiveness that can make an immediate impact on this program. Her ability to score it at all three levels stood out to us in the recruiting process." – Coach Roman Owen
Brown, a 6-foot-1 forward from Muskogee, Oklahoma, joins the Bobcats after a standout career at Muskogee High School. During her junior season in 2025-26, Brown averaged 15.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 2.0 steals per game while shooting 50 percent from the field and 41 percent from beyond the arc. She recorded 12 double-doubles across 31 appearances, ranking among Oklahoma's top players in the category. Brown also helped lead Booker T. Washington to the Oklahoma Class 5A State Championship game during the 2024-25 season.

Maddie Broxterman – Guard – Austin, TX – Vandegrift HS
"We got a good one in Maddie Broxterman. She played for one of the best AAU programs in the county, the SAF Finest. Her ability to handle and score the basketball will help our team greatly. We can't wait to get her to campus next season." – Coach Roman Owen
Maddie Broxterman has signed her letter of intent to join the Quinnipiac women's basketball program next season after spending her high school career at Vandegrift High School in Austin, Texas. During her time at Vandegrift, Broxterman has set numerous records, including the most points in a single season (667), most field goals in a season (253), and the highest free-throw percentage (84%). Heading into her final season of high school hoops, Broxterman has 1,834 career points and will look to help lead Vandegrift back to the District 25-6A Title Game.
Maayan Gorin – Guard – Israel – Crestwood Prep
"Maayan Gorin can go! We loved many aspects of her game, but she plays with a motor every possession. Her tenacity to attack the paint separates her from other guards. The staff and I love the joy that she has. She brought energy, effort, and a great attitude in every interaction we had with her." – Coach Roman Owen
Gorin, a native of Kibbutz Megiddo, Israel, joins the Bobcats after competing at Crestwood Preparatory College in Toronto, Canada. An accomplished international player, Gorin represented Israel at the 2026 FIBA U18 Women's EuroBasket Division B, helping her country capture the championship and earn promotion to Division A. She averaged 18.0 points per game during the competition. Gorin also enjoyed an impressive showing at the 2025 FIBA U16 Women's EuroBasket, averaging 20.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game while ranking second among all tournament participants in scoring.
"The 2027 class is a foundational cornerstone for this program. All three players raise the level of basketball and will help our team next season. We wanted to get a high level of skill in each player, and we got just that. Their confidence and ability to score really stood out to our staff. Additionally, we wanted to recruit young people with great character. These three exhibited that in each interaction we had with them. It was evident that they want to be great teammates and help the program reach the highest success." – Quinnipiac Women's Basketball Head Coach Roman Owen on his first recruiting class at QU
