Strickland signs with TCU

Meridian Community College basketball sophomore Nadosha Strickland has decided to officially continue her career at Texas Christian University.

Strickland, a former Bay Springs High School standout, led MCC in virtually every offensive category during her two seasons with the Lady Eagles. She averaged over 22 points per game her final season in leading the Lady Eagles a South Division championship and the MACJC State Tournament finals. She scored 1,246 points in her career at Meridian and leaves as the leading scorer in school history.

Strickland was named the team’s MVP after shooting 51-percent from 3-point range.

She was named the MVP of the 2008 MACJC All Star Game as a member of the South Team. She scored 17 points in helping lead the South All-Stars to an 82-70 win over the North squad.

In 2008, the Lady Eagles claimed a 20-plus win season en route to a MACJC State Championship game appearance. MCC claimed the MACJC State runners-up and a birth in the NJCAA Region 23 tournament.

As a freshman, she averaged 20.9 points per game, with 10.2 rebounds per game. That season (2006-07) she led the Lady Eagles on a miracle run in the NJCAA Region 23 tournament, scoring 81 points in three games to help the Lady Eagles make an appearance in the Region title game.

TCU is a member of the NCAA Division 1 and Mountain West Conference.
