Redshirt junior guard Gabby Nikitinaite will enter the transfer portal for her final year of eligibility, she said in a tweet Friday.

Nikitinaite is the fourth player to enter the transfer portal since the firing of head coach Jennifer Rizzotti and her coaching staff March 15. Nikitinaite joins redshirt junior forward Neila Luma, freshman center Ali Brigham and freshman forward Caranda Perea as the latest departures from the squad.

In her Twitter statement, Nikitinaite thanked Rizzotti and her staff for her past year as a Colonial. She also thanked former assistant coaches Kevin DeMille, Ganiyat Adeduntan, Bill Sullivan and former Director of Operations Christina Richardson “for being great mentors in my life.”

“I appreciate you all, including my teammates,” Nikitinaite said in her tweet. “I will be entering the portal for my final year of eligibility.”

Nikitinaite did not return a request for comment.
