Speaking about the opportunity, Ensoll said: "After a long and rewarding journey, I am incredibly fortunate and excited to receive an offer that feels like the perfect next step in both my basketball career and my life.
"Every conversation with Coach Gross reinforced how special this programme is, and I quickly fell in love with the culture, and opportunities it offers.
"I want to thank my family, coaches, team-mates, and everyone who has supported me throughout this process. Ipswich has become a huge part of who I am, and I will always be grateful for the people who helped me get to this point. I hope to make everyone proud as I begin this next chapter."
The 6"6" centre has built an impressive resume during her young career, establishing herself as a major contributor at senior women’s level, while helping Copleston and Ipswich to multiple titles at the U18, U19 and senior level.
