UTRGV women's hoops adds Afiya Vincent

UTRGV women's basketball head coach Lane Lord, who is entering Year 3 at the helm of the program, announced the addition of Afiya Vincent to the Vaqueros' roster for the 2020-21 academic season. Vincent, a 6-foot-4 power forward originally from Trinidad and Tobago, will allow Lord to roll bigger lineups out onto the floor this season. A transfer from Colby Community College, Vincent started 20 games and averaged 5.6 points and 7.4 rebounds as a sophomore last season. 'We have 6-foot-5-inch Burcu Soysal coming back, we've added 6-foot-4-inch Afiya Vincent. We're really excited about having that kind of twin tower look, something that we haven't had our first two or three years here is that rim-protector,' Lord said. 'Now we have a couple girls coming in here that can fill that void for us.' UTRGV finished the 2019-20 season with a 13-17 overall record and fourth in the WAC with an 8-8 conference record. Lord hopes the new group of Vaqueros can help improve on that mark next season. For the '2020-21 signing class, we're looking for bigger and better than ever and we're excited to get this season going. V's up,' Lord said.
