Three standouts to join women’s basketball team 1:55 p.m., Nov. 9, 2006--Three high school standouts have signed National Letters of Intent to compete for the University of Delaware women's basketball team beginning in 2007-08, Head Coach Tina Martin has announced. Joining the Fightin' Blue Hens will be guards Tesia Harris of Dix Hills, N.Y., and Gracie Palucis of Moon Township, Pa., and center Eva Riddick of Rochester, N.Y. “I'm very excited about our incoming class,” Martin said. “I feel that all three players have the ability to contribute as incoming freshmen.” Harris is a 6-foot, 1-inch guard who plays for Half Hollow Hills West High School, where she averaged 19 points, 16 rebounds, four assists, three steals and four blocks per game last season when she was named All-Long Island. An all-league selection in each of her first three years of high school, Harris is ranked the 14th best swing guard and the 104th best player in the country by Allstar Girls Report. Riddick, a 6-3 center at Rush Henrietta High School, averaged eight points and 10 rebounds per game last season. She was named to the 2006 Class AAA all-tournament team after leading Rush Henrietta High to a 24-2 record and a New York AAA state championship. Riddick, an academic all-state selection, led her AAU team, The Empire Dragons, to the Blue Chip Invitational championship last summer. Palucis, a 5-10 guard at Moon Area High School, averaged 13.8 points per game last season, when she made 76 three-pointers and shot 48 percent from beyond the arc. She hit a school record seven three-point shots in one game. Palucis was named to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Fabulous Five all-star team in the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League (WPIAL) Class AAA and was first team All-Section 2. |
