COLLEGE ROUNDUP (July 29): NU adds 4 to women's hoops squad
Staff Reports
Niagara Gazette
Niagara women’s basketball coach Kendra Faustin announced Tuesday that forward Jessica Flamm and Megan White, and guards Kayla Stroman and Iniquia Snell will enter the program as freshmen next season.
“We are elated to add this group of student-athletes to our program,” Faustin said in a news release. “Each player brings different skills to the court, but they all are quality people and tireless competitors that I know will represent our program and Niagara University in an exceptional way.”
The 5-foot-11 Flamm helped Allentown Central Catholic in Orefield, Pa., go 100-23 in her four year career. She averaged 10.5 points as a senior, as the team won another District XI title.
“Jess is a hard-nosed player who comes from an extremely successful program,” Faustin said. “She plays hard, will grab boards for us and make jump shots, too. She is about being the best that she can be, and that’s a great fit for our program.”
The 6-foot-3 White helped Circleville High Tigers in Ohio win two league titles in her three-year career. She was an honorable mention on the all-state team as a junior, when Circleville won a sectional title.
“White is a big presence on the court,” Faustin said. “Not only does she have great touch around the rim, but she can knock down shots from the perimeter as well.”
Stroman ran point for Syracuse’s Christian Brothers Academy, which went 85-11 and won two sectional titles in her four-year career. As a senior, she was named 10th team all-state.
“Kayla is a very talented point guard with a high basketball IQ,” Faustin said. “She takes care of the ball and is excellent distributing the basketball in transition. I look for big things from her as a point guard and a leader.”
Snell was one of 35 nominees from the state of Michigan for the 2009 McDonald’s All-American Game after her senior year at Detroit Community High. The Michigan Girls Basketball Report ranked her as the state’s 23rd best recruit in her class.
“’Nique has had a lot of success in her high school career and I expect she’ll do the same at Niagara,” Faustin said. “She’s an extremely athletic guard who can take anyone off the bounce, is a tenacious defender and has the skills to make a big impact in our program.”
The Purple Eagles finished 3-28 in 2009, Faustin’s second year in command of the program. Niagara went 8-22 in Faustin’s first year, after she inherited the team six weeks before practices began, following Bill Agronin’s abrupt resignation.
