CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi head women's basketball coach
Royce Chadwick has announced the addition of Alexandria Pollard to the Islanders' roster. Pollard, who comes to the Island from from Bossier Parish Community College in Bossier City, Louisiana, is originally from Houston, Texas. She will have two years of eligibility remaining with the Blue and Green.

Pollard appeared in 59 career games with 30 starts for the Cavaliers, averaging 8.2 ppg and 8.0 rebounds/game. In addition, the Houston, Texas native collected 2.8 blocks/game which included 3.6/game in 2019-20.
