PORTALES — Eastern New Mexico University’s women’s basketball program wrapped up its signing class for 2020, with the addition of Dallas post Jemesia “MeMe” Amand.
The 6-foot-3 Amand comes to the Greyhounds with one year of eligibility following her junior season at Division I Louisiana Tech University. In her lone season with the Bulldogs, Amand played 26 games and started eight contests, averaging 5.2 points on 45.2% shooting with 4.2 rebounds.
At Hill Junior College, Amand averaged 10.4 points and 6.4 rebounds as a sophomore to help the team win the North Texas Junior College Athletic Conference title. She’s in Hill’s top 10 for five different statistical categories.
“MeMe understands how to score in the low post area and is a very aggressive rebounder as well,” ENMU coach Josh Prock said in a school release. “She does a great job in transition, sprinting the floor, which allows her to gain position in the post. She is an outstanding young lady off the court as well and has done a great job in the classroom to be on track to get her degree in May. We are thankful she has joined our program and will represent our program well on and off the court.”
Women’s soccer schedule released
The Greyhound women’s soccer team will play a 14-game schedule that is heavy on Lone Star Conference play.
