Four women’s basketball junior college transfers bring a ‘chip on their shoulder’ to WSU

Junior Jasmine Peaks looks to pass the ball on Oct. 30. Peaks is a transfer from Indian River State College in Florida.

Coming off a year where the team finished 13th in the American Athletic Conference, Wichita State women’s basketball coach Terry Nooner said he was looking for players with “chips on their shoulders” and “a lot of internal work ethic” in his recruiting class.

Nooner signed four juniors from community and junior colleges over the offseason: guards Kyleigh Ortiz, Princess Anderson and Jasmine Peaks, and forward Maimouna Sissoko. He said those players embody the type of mindset he was scouting.
