CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – As the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi women's basketball team returned to campus for the summer semester, a new face graced the first official meeting of the 2017-18 squad.
Tasia Foman, a transfer from the University of Texas, joined the Islanders after three years with the Longhorns.
Foman arrives on the Island as a senior, but will sit out the upcoming campaign due to NCAA transfer rules.
"We are thrilled to have a player of Tasia's caliber join our program," head coach
Royce Chadwick said. "To have a player who has competed at the highest level join our program will elevate our players to a higher standard. While she won't be out on the court for us this year, Tasia will guide our student-athletes in practice and help prepare them for our opponents throughout the year."
Foman appeared in 67 games over three years for Texas, averaging 2.8 points and 1.3 rebounds in 8.3 minutes per game. 2016-17 saw a rise in her production for the Longhorns, setting career highs in minutes, points, assists, steals, blocks, field goals and 3-pointers.
The 5-foot-8 guard played in 14 games during her junior campaign in Austin, finishing the year with 2.9 points and 1.5 rebounds per game. She scored a career-high 14 points against UTSA on Dec. 17.
Prior to her career with the Longhorns, Foman was the No. 24 guard in the class of 2014, per ESPN.com. She guided Duncanville High School to two UIL 5A State Championships and a record of 148-10 during her four-year career with the Pantherettes. Foman was the 2013-14 UIL 5A Defensive Player of the Year.
