Innocent
to
Transfer To Wright State
May 22, 2012
Edison
Community College sophomore forward Brianna Innocent will transfer to
Wright
State University in the fall to play for the Raiders women’s basketball
program
after completing her associate of arts degree.
Innocent,
who joined the Chargers in 2010, was named the conference’s player of
the year
in 2012 and was named a third-team All-American in the JCAA after being
a
standout player for Vandalia.
“Brianna
has had two great years of growth here at Edison and set several
records for
our program,” said Chip Hare, Edison athletic director. “At the end of
the day,
she’s walking away with a two-year associate’s degree, is physically
and mentally
more mature and she will be a great force for Wright State.”
Innocent
had several Division I schools from throughout the region looking at
her this
year including Bowling Green, Miami, Western Michigan and Eastern
Michigan.
“My first
semester at Edison I struggled and I just had to get the hang of
college,” said
Innocent. “I think that’s going to help me at Wright State because I
have two
years under my belt instead of going right into it out of high school.”
Innocent
will be attending Wright State on a full scholarship and is looking
into
studying early childhood education.
“I’m excited to play at that level again,”
said Innocent. “And being able to come out of college with a degree and
no debt
is rare these days.”
