Early life

Shortly after her birth, Hiedeman had to wear a full-body harness due to a hyperextension in her left leg. Her mother had her at 19. As a child, Hiedeman also played baseball and was the only girl on her team.[2]

Hiedeman attended Green Bay Southwest High School, where she had the nickname "T-Spoon" after former WNBA star Teresa Weatherspoon. She holds school records in triple jump, high jump, long jump, and 100 meter hurdles.[3]

College career

Hiedeman was recruited to Marquette after being the leading scorer in the Green Bay Metro area in high school while attending Green Bay Southwest High School. Hiedeman's brother is Maccabi Tel Aviv B.C. player Sandy Cohen, who also played at Marquette.[4] In her first year at Marquette, she was named to the Big East All-Freshman Team. In the 2017–18 season, she was named to the Meyers Drysdale Award Watch List.[5] Hiedeman finished her career as Marquette's third all-time leading scorer, just 27 points shy of the program record. Additionally, she was the first Marquette player to reach 300 made three-pointers and finished sixth on Marquette's all-time assist chart.[6]
