Butler University Athletics

High School: Hastings most recently has seen action in NBL 1 for the Norths Bears. Hastings was a part of the 2025 Bronze Australia National Classic with the Under 18 squad and was a part of the Under 16 Silver Easter Classic squad.

Hastings was recognized for her contributions to her Club Team, the North Bears, in 2022 and 2024 when she was named Defensive Player of the Year for the club. She was the youngest player to play on the Norths NBL 1 team in 2025. She represented New Zealand at the U17 FIBA World Cup Basketball Tournament and was selected to play in the 2025 Asia Basketball Without Borders event in Singapore.

Hastings will study marketing at Butler.

Why Hastings Chose Butler: "The decision to travel so far from home to further my education and grow as a basketball player was a massive decision. After being fortunate to receive several D1 college offers, I asked my basketball mentors how to choose the ‘right’ team and college. I was told to prioritize what was important to me, and when you have met the right coaching team ‘you will just know’. That was very true. After my visit with the Butler coaching staff and tour of the campus, nothing else could compare! The vision, expertise, style of play, and team culture being created by the coaching staff really stood out. Also, the warm and welcoming staff that spent time talking to me about all of the education options and the impressive business school with a truly unique approach to internships to prepare students for success beyond college, was next level! I feel so very grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the Butler women's basketball team and cannot wait to learn from my teammates and also bring some Aussie-Kiwi (slang for Australian/New Zealander) humor, dedication, drive and commitment to achieving our goals!"
