The 5-foot-11 guard is a former Top-25 national prospect whom the Bears recruited out of high school.
The Cal women’s basketball team has added sophomore guard Gisella Maul, a transfer from Texas and former top-50 national recruit, the school announced Thursday.
“Gisella brings much-needed length and athleticism to our backcourt,” Cal coach Charmin Smith said in a statement. “She is a versatile guard who can score at all three levels and defend multiple positions. At Cedar Park High School, Maul was ranked as the 38th-best player in the country by ESPN and was named the the 2021-22 Texas Gatorade Player of the Year and Texas Association of Basketball Coaches Player of the Year.
Cal is coming off a 19-15 season — its best under Smith — and was 7-11 in the Pac-12. The Bears advanced to the Women’s Basketball Invitation Tournament, where they won their opener before being eliminated.“I’m coming to Cal because they have so much to offer,” Maul said. “From an academic and basketball standpoint, it feels like the perfect fit for me. The culture and environment here is unlike any other and I’m grateful to join the family.
