Erin plays with a toughness and energy that fits perfectly with our culture, and she's just as impressive in the classroom. We can't wait to see the impact she'll have on our program."
Houpt, a 5-6 guard from Danville, Ill., spent the last two years with San Diego State, playing one season with the Aztecs in 2024-25. Houpt contributed to SDSU's 25-10 mark, a Mountain West tournament title, and an NCAA Tournament berth last season.

She was named the 2021-22 SoCon Freshman of the Year after turning in 9.1 points, shooting 40 percent from 3-point land and 91.1 percent from the line. The incoming Eagle registered three games with 20-plus points and 12 games in double figures.Â
Houpt finished second on the team in scoring in 2022-23 averaging a personal-best 12.6 points and 2.7 rebounds. She carded 17 games in double figures, highlighted by a 28-point performance against Texas Tech.
