Transfer from St. John’s signs with Coach Marlene Stollings
LUBBOCK, Texas – Lady Raider Basketball Head Coach Marlene Stollings has worked quickly to build her team's roster since arriving in Lubbock only seven weeks ago. The fifth and newest addition is Andrayah Adams who hails from Minneapolis, Minn.
"I am thrilled to welcome Andrayah Adams to the Lady Raider program," Stollings said. "She brings a high basketball IQ, a tireless work ethic, the ability to score in a multitude of ways and strong leadership skills. Andrayah is very goal driven an aspires to help this program return to the national spotlight. Andrayah's prowess also extends to the classroom where she is a dedicated student. Lady Raider fans will enjoy watching her perform in our high-octane system."
Adams is a 5-10 guard who played last two seasons at St. John's University in Queens, N.Y. In her rookie season, she posted a career-high 27 points at Marquette, shooting 60 percent from the field and 66.7 percent from beyond the arc. Adams helped St. John's to advance to the third round of the WNIT.
During her sophomore season, Adams had the second-best shooting average from the three-point line (.407) and one of the best averages from the field (.421). She posted 13 double-figure games, including a season-best 23 points at Albany. During that game, she shot 80 percent from the field and 87 percent from the arc. Adams helped the Red Storm to the quarterfinals of the WNIT.
"I'm very excited and thankful to be united with Coach Marlene and her staff. I cannot wait to play in front of thousands of fans at United Supermarkets Arena," Adams said. "It will be special to experience the supportive environment that is Lubbock, Texas. I am extremely proud to be a Lady Raider. It's time to make magic happen."
Adams was a six-year varsity player for Como Park High School in Minneapolis, Minn. She was one of the most prolific scoring guards in the nation, scoring over 3,000 points during her career. She led Como Park to a 20-7 record as a junior, averaging a state-best 29.8 points, eight rebounds, five assists and three steals per game.
During her high school career, Adams was a two-time Associated Press All-State First Team selection and three-time conference player of the year. She led her team to two conference championships and was a six-time all-conference selection.
Following her senior season, Adams jersey (#15) was retired, becoming the first time Como Park High School has retired a jersey.
Adams was also a three-star recruit that was one of the top 30 ranked guards in the country according to ESPN Hoopgurlz. She also played AAU basketball for her father, Patrick Adams, on the MN-Warriors.
