Bio
2022-23 – Sophomore: Did not compete.
2021-22 – Freshman: Came off the bench in three games, averaging 2.5 minutes per night … Made her collegiate debut against Iona (11/16) … Scored her first point at Hartford (12/22) … Grabbed a career-high two boards at Hartford (12/22).
Before UMass: Was an All-NEPSAC Honorable Mention player at The Hyde School during the 2019-20 season, where she helped the team to the NEPSAC Class E Championship game … Also helped her team win the MAISAD Championship (Maine Association of Independent School Athletic Directors) … Competed for Bria Holmes Elite AAU Program, and transferred to Springfield Commonwealth Academy for the 2020-21 school year.
Verdi on Harden: "Natousha will be one of the most imposing post players in the Atlantic 10. Standing all of 6-foot-4, Natousha will anchor our defense and score in bunches around the basket and in transition. She has the ability to be one of the best centers to ever wear a UMass jersey. We expect big things from her."
Harden on UMass: "I fell in love with UMass when I met the wonderful coaching staff that immediately made me feel like family. Also when I visited campus, I loved the facilities and could really see myself putting in countless hours bettering my craft there and my education."
