Alana Aguirre has committed to play at Ball State for the 2015-16 season. A 5-foot-10 guard, Alana transferred from Abilene Christian University.

“We couldn’t be happier than to welcome Alana to our women’s basketball program,” head coach Brady Sallee said in a statement. “She brings a skillset at the wing position that we simply do not have. Her ability to make plays and create for not only herself, but her teammates, was something we were looking to add to our roster."

Alana attended Justin Wakeland High School in Texas. She was a McDonald's All-American nominee and a top-25 recruit in the state.

She was named to the First Team All-Region in 2013 and 2014 at Justin Wakeland, and averaged 15 points, 9.2 rebounds and four assists per game in her high school career.

Alana joins Destiny Washington, Cat Wells, Nakeya Penny, Carmen Grande and Lucia Fernandez as signees for next season.

"I chose Ball State because the university offers a great education and college environment that will allow me to grow both academically and socially," Alana said. "I also love what this coaching staff and team stands for. Coach Sallee truly believes in me and my abilities and I know that he will put me in a position to succeed both on and off the court.”
