Before making her debut in the Mid-American Conference, incoming Ball State women's basketball player Aniss Tagayi will compete for her home country as part of the French national team in the U19 competition.
"Before she takes the MAC, she's taking Europe," Ball State Women’s Basketball posted Saturday on X. "Good luck to Aniss Tagayi as she suits up for France at the U19."
According to an April 3 article on the Ball State Athletics website, Tagayi most recently helped lead France to a U18 Women's European Championship, defeating Spain 80-70 in the final. She also plays in France's National Women's 1st Division for Montpellier and holds titles as a U18 French Cup Finalist and U20 French Champion.
"She is an elite athlete that excels in the open floor offensively and can change the game on the defensive end," Ball State head coach Brady Sallee said in the article. "Her experience at the highest level of basketball in Europe will have her ready to compete right away! She is a perfect fit for our program and can’t wait to see her in a Cardinal uniform."
This brief will be updated with more information as it becomes available.
