Junior Erica Rivera, who had played for GW’s women’s basketball team the past two seasons, has transferred to Radford University, her new school announced today.
The 5-foot-8 point guard started six games this past season and took the floor in an additional 25, averaging 4.1 points, two assists and 1.8 rebounds per contest. Perhaps the most prominent moment of her two-year Colonial career came in December, when her late foul shots carried GW to victory over Troy.
Rivera will now play for Radford head coach Tajama Ngongba, who took over the program last summer after four years in Foggy Bottom under former GW coach Joe McKeown. She was an assistant in the program during Rivera’s freshman year.
Ngongba had an extensive on-court career with the Colonials, holding the GW career scoring record with 2,134 points.
