Aline Lino is a 6'3" forward from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and a graduate of Mangueira High School where she averaged 18.0 points and 13.0 rebounds per game as she led her team to the Rio de Janeiro League Championship. Lino is transferring to the University of Great Falls from Ohio Valley University (NCAA Division II) in West Virginia. Last season, she averaged 6.0 points and 4.0 rebounds per contest for the Lady Scots. Prior to playing at OVU, she played at Sheridan College in Sheridan, Wyoming and was a teammate of current Lady Argo Mckenzie Gentry and played a significant role for the 2008 sub-region champions. She will have one year of eligibility left at the University of Great Falls.

"Aline runs the floor very well and has the ability to finish with either hand," said University of Great Falls women's basketball coach Shawn Chaffin. "She is very long with a tremendous wing-span and should contribute on both ends of the court. I am very excited that Aline is joining us. Along with our earlier signing of Stasia (Holden), we should be one of the bigger teams in the Frontier Conference."

"The University of Great Falls showed a lot of interest in me and I appreciated that. Mckenzie (Gentry) told me great things about the University of Great Falls and I am really excited about next season. UGF will be a great place to play, to finish out my college career and to get my degree," said Lino.

Nataly Brambila will also be joining the women's basketball team from Newbury Park, California where she led Newbury Park High School to a 22-6 record. The 5'8" guard is a defensive specialist who averaged 4.0 points, 3.0 assists, 4.0 rebounds along with 3.0 steals per game while earning Second Team All-Conference honors for the traditionally strong Maramonte League that features the high schools from Thousand Oaks, Ventura and Simi Valley areas.

"Nataly has a lot of upside," said Chaffin. "In high school she was a shutdown defender and when she was here (for her visit), her skills were very evident. But I am excited that her best offensive days are ahead of her.  Nataly has worked very hard this offseason on her perimeter shot. With her work ethic, I believe that Nataly has a very high ceiling as a player and a member of our campus community."

"I am thankful for the opportunity that Coach Chaffin and the University of Great Falls has given me, not only to get an education but also to have the chance to be part of the Argo basketball family. I am looking forward to becoming an asset to my team and being an active member of the community," said Brambila.
