WORCESTER, Mass. – Holy Cross head women's basketball coach Candice Green has announced that three student-athletes will join the Crusaders in the fall of 2026. Abby Casper (Cromwell, Conn.), Camden Epstein (Wyckoff, N.J.) and Maddie Provost (Albion, Maine) make up the class of 2030.

"We are thrilled to welcome the Holy Cross Women's Basketball Class of 2026. Cam, Maddie, and Abby will make an immediate impact—in the classroom, on the court, and throughout our community. Each brings a unique skill set that will complement our returning group and elevate our program," said Green. "Cam, our Jersey native, brings size, toughness, and the ability to shoot from anywhere on the floor. Maddie is a skilled combo guard who can shoot the lights out while also creating for her teammates. Abby is a versatile scorer who can stretch the defense and play with strength around the rim. Beyond basketball, these three outstanding young women embody the character, work ethic, and commitment needed to uphold the standard and tradition of Holy Cross Basketball. We can't wait to get started."

Casper is a 6'0" forward who played four seasons of varsity basketball at Northwest Catholic High School in West Hartford, Conn., under head coach Alison Connors.

She hit the 1000 point milestone, currently owns 1,472 career points, and is Northwest Catholic's single-season all-time high scorer (562 points in 2023-24). The Connecticut native also plays basketball for the D4S (Drive 4 Stardom) club team under head coach Donta Johnson and is a member of the Northwest Catholic soccer team during the fall.
