The Texas women’s basketball program announced on Monday that it had signed Florida Atlantic transfer Lovisa Asbrink Hose.
A 6-foot-6 center out of Sweden, Asbrink Hose spent just one season in Boca Raton. She started five of the 22 games she played in, and averaged 3.4 points and 3.8 rebounds. She earned AAC freshman of the week honors on Jan. 6.

“Lovisa has size as well as the ability to stretch the floor,” Texas coach Vic Schaefer said in a statement. “Her versatility and footwork around the rim as well as her ability to face up and score really bring a unique skill set to our team. … Her best basketball is way ahead of her as she grows accustomed to the college game and playing at this level. She has a very bright future, and we are excited that it will be here at The University of Texas.”

Texas head coach Vic Schaefer said Florida Atlantic transfer Lovisa Asbrink Hose will help replenish the Longhorns’ depth among forwards and posts. The 6-foot-6 center played in 22 games for FAU this past season, starting five of them.
On Monday, Texas also announced that Arizona transfer Breya Cunningham had officially signed with Texas. Cunningham, a 6-4 forward, committed to UT over the weekend.

“Breya will bring experience and inside presence, as well as the ability to impact our program immediately,” Schaefer said. “Her experience at the power five level will enable her to adapt immediately as well as impact our program immediately.”
Asbrink Hose and Cunningham will help replenish the depth lost in the paint by the graduation of Taylor Jones and Abbie Boutilier’s decision to transfer. Jones and Boutilier were two of the three tallest players on the UT roster this past season. The 6-4 Jones led Texas in rebounds and blocks and was the team’s second-leading scorer.
Texas is coming off a season in which it went 35-4 and reached the Final Four for the first time in 22 years. Jones and fellow senior starter Shay Holle won’t return, but Boutilier, who did not play during her two years at Texas, and reserve guard Jordana Codio have been the team’s only other offseason departures.
