SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – Seton Hall women's basketball head coach Anthony Bozzella announced today the addition of UMass transfer Makennah White (Farrell, Pa.) to the program.Â

White will have two years of NCAA eligibility remaining in South Orange.

"What a huge addition for our program and family here at Seton Hall," Bozzella said. "Makennah has already proven herself as one of the best big kids on the East Coast and I know in the next two years she will develop into an even better player."
Â
White has been a valuable member of UMass' frontcourt for the last three seasons, serving as the team's sixth-woman as a junior in 2022-23. The 6-foot-2 forward has played in 84 career games, made 20 starts and averaged 19.4 minutes per game.

Last season, White helped lead the Minutewomen to a 27-7 record and a WNIT berth. She averaged career-highs of 9.5 points and 5.7 rebounds per game while shooting .465 from the field and a team-best .824 from the free-throw line.  White registered a career-high 18 points, including a career-best nine made field goals at Harvard on Nov. 18. She also collected a pair of double-doubles last year.
