Women's basketball head coach Rob Cross has announced that Andrea Dickerson has chosen Murray State as the place where she will continue her academic and athletic careers.
Dickerson, a 5-11 guard/forward from Mt. Pulaski High School in Mt. Pulaski, Ill., is coming off of a strong senior season that culminated in her earning Illinois All-State honors. She also helped lead the Hiltoppers to their first-ever championship game appearance at the Illinois High School Association State Final Tournament this season, all while averaging 14 points, five rebounds and four steals per game. Her excellent shooting also contributed to her being selected as a finalist in the 3-point competition held in conjunction with the state tournament.
Cross On Dickerson: "Andrea is a great student and quality person that has strong feelings about representing Murray State University after spending time on our campus over the past three years. She is a high-character young lady with a passion for the game that has steadily improved over her high school career. She has spent a lot of time playing in the post for her high school team, but has a very good stroke from the 3-point line and nice skill set. We believe that she will be able to make the transition to being more of a perimeter player at this level. Andrea is a good athlete with exceptional length for her size and could become an outstanding defensive presence."
Dickerson is the eighth student-athlete that has chosen to join the Racer women's basketball family for the 2013-14 campaign. She joins incoming freshmen Nikia Edom of Romeoville, Ill., Julia Fox of Lebanon, Tenn., Ke'Shunan James of Jackson, Tenn., Taylor Porter of Louisa, Ky., and Janssen Starks of Murray, Ky., as well as transfers Jashae Lee of New Mexico JC and LeAsia Wright of Western Kentucky. Due to NCAA transfer rules, Wright will not play in games during next year's campaign, but will be able to participate in team practices.
