For the first time in her university career, Izzi Fust is playing with her sister, Kyu, at the Manitoba Bisons. The standout third-year forward, who was recruited by Kyu's older sister, made the decision to return home after spending two years with the Regina Cougars. Fust felt underutilized and struggled without her sister's support, which negatively impacted her mental and physical performance.
Her transfer came after Kyu also made the jump to Manitoba, and both sisters feel more balanced at home. Izzi's tenure with the Cougars included All-Rookie Team and Academic All-Canadian honors, where she averaged 9 points and 5.5 rebounds per game, along with 58 blocks and 51 steals. Bisons head coach Michele Sung appreciates Fust's versatility and leadership, while Kyu believes the familiar atmosphere will positively impact the team.
