Drummond averaged 12.3 points per game last season
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Syracuse University head women's basketball coach Quentin Hillsman announced the addition of forward Miranda Drummond for the upcoming 2016-17 season. A transfer from St. Bonaventure University, Drummond will be eligible to play in games during the 2017-18 campaign and will have two years of eligibility.
Â
"Miranda is a skilled hybrid wing with a complete offensive skillset," commented Hillsman. "She has the ability to defend three positions on the floor. She was a full-time starter at St. Bonaventure and volume 3-point shooter, which makes her a perfect fit for our system."
Â
As a sophomore in 2015-16, Drummond helped St. Bonaventure to the second round of the 2016 NCAA Tournament. The 6-1 forward ranked second on the club in scoring, averaging 12.3 points per game. Drummond, a starter in 29 contests, knocked down 59 3-point field goals on the year, making more than 36 percent of her attempts from deep.
Â
In her first season on campus, the Binghamton, N.Y. native appeared in 28 games. She scored a season-best 17 points at Richmond and notched 10 points against 2015 NCAA Tournament participant Dayton.
Â
At Harpursville High School, Drummond was a nominee for the McDonald's All-America game and finalist for New York's Miss Basketball in 2014. She earned NYSSA All-State Class C First Team as a senior for her efforts on the court. Drummond also competed in cross country, where she earned all-state accolades.
