May 7, 2002

CARSON, Calif.- Cal State Dominguez Hills head women's basketball coach Van Girard has announced that Tameka Blue and DeLaney Turner have signed National Letters of Intent to play with the Toros in the 2002-03 season.

Blue is a 5-7 point guard out of Santa Cruz High School. While at SCHS, Blue averaged 15 points per game on her way to receiving all-league and all-region accolades. Coach Girard anticipates that Blue will have an immediate impact on the Toros offense.

"Tameka is an extraordinary athlete. She has great court vision, ability to see the floor, and is also a great scoring threat for us. She is going to come in and challenge for a starting position."

Turner will join the CSUDH program after two successful seasons at Santa Barbara City College. The 6-1 post player scored 12 points per game and pulled down seven boards per game last season for the Vaqueros.

"DeLaney is a blue-collar type post player. She is a strong defender and a solid rebounder," says Coach Girard of Turner.

Blue and Turner join two other signees, Teresa Cooper and Jessica Brown, who signed with the Toros during the early signing period last fall.
