Michigan State lost an integral part of their women’s basketball team when hoops star Alisa Wulff came back home to Canada. The move from MSU at the end of the 2003-04 season established a new backbone in the Lancer’s already dominant women’s basketball team.

Alisa Barbara Wulff was born on June 4, 1984 to parents Nancy and the late Tom Wulff.

She grew up in Pickering, Ont. with her parents and sister, Jenna. Wulff’s athletic abilities are hereditary as both her parents were athletes during their college years. Her mother was a swimmer and volleyball player and her father was a football and hockey player.

Growing up in Pickering, Wulff attended Pine Ridge Secondary School where she led her school’s basketball team to the district playoffs.

This swing position player stands at six-feet one-inch tall and plays the small forward and point-guard positions. She finished the 2007-2008 season with the Michigan State Spartans by scoring a career-high 103 points and hitting a career-best 25 three-pointers.

In high school, she averaged 22 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists for Pine Ridge Secondary in her hometown.

Wulff has also been a member of the Canadian Junior National Team and Young Women’s National Team.

Further, she participated in the Nike All-Canada Camp in October 2002 as well as playing with the Canadian Young Women’s National Team in 2002 in Brazil, where her team placed fifth.

Wulff, a Human Kinetics major, was drafted to the Toronto All-Star Team and the AAU where she played on two teams – Southern Ontario Basketball and Toronto Cyclones.

At the 2001 Canada Games, Wulff led Team Ontario to win a silver medal and was later recruited by University of Virginia in 2003-2004 where she played in 25 games and started four.

In recent news, Wulff was named Bookstore Athlete of the Week for her impeccable weekend in the successful victories over two Toronto teams, the Varsity Blues and Ryerson Rams.

Her average for the weekend was 11.5 points per game and 10.5 rebounds per game, including one double-double.
