Storer has committed to the University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas, where she will play for the Cardinals while studying a major in Biology.
After seeing older sister Olivia graduate from college, Storer said she knew that was the path she'd also like to take.
"Going to college has always been the main goal," she said.
"Once I saw the campus, got the see them play and saw all of the coaches, I was pretty sold on going over there."

However, it's unclear when Storer will be able to make the move due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Hopefully it will be before the basketball season starts in October," she said.
Storer already has the added advantage of playing under Australian basketball legend Lauren Jackson last season.
"It was pretty amazing," she said.
"She played in the centre position and so do I, so to get a lot of insight into that type of game was great.
"Even just being on the bench and watching how she operates as well as watching the amazing senior girls, it was an amazing opportunity for me."
Storer had planned to take to the court for the Albury-Wodonga Bandits again this year before the season was cancelled.
The rising star hasn't ruled out returning to the Border outfit after she finishes college.
"I'd love to keep playing with the Bandits," she said.
