Koval exits LSU women's basketball as Mulkey cites personal reasons

LSU women’s basketball center Kate Koval is leaving the program for personal reasons, Mulkey said. The Ukrainian-born transfer joined LSU in 2025, started 17 games last season, and averaged 8.3 points and 6.3 rebounds, with a potential major role planned for 2026-27. Her departure leaves LSU’s frontcourt with Grace Knox, Anna Minaeva, Noa Morro and Meghan Yarnevich. NCAA rules prevent Koval from joining another program for the 2026-27 season; if she sits out this year, she can enter the transfer portal in April to pursue two more seasons under the five-year eligibility window.
