Two-sport standout Hinderer grabs the spotlight at Harper Jan 17, 2013 12:00 AM
While most of her high school peers were playing basketball under the bright lights in conferences like the Mid-Suburban League, DuPage Valley and Upstate Eight, current Harper College freshman center Monica Hinderer was playing at lower-profile Willows Academy in Des Plaines. That made it difficult for four-year schools to get a glimpse of the 6-foot-1 center. According to her father Doug, Monica never had interest from four-year schools in high school. That’s starting to change now, as a result of Hinderer’s recent basketball performances at Harper. She tied her career-high with 33 points in a victory over Wright College on Tuesday and leads the Hawks in scoring, rebounds, field goal percentage, steals and blocks. Earlier this school year, Hinderer helped the womens' soccer to a Region IV title.
