East Carolina University women’s basketball head coach Heather Macy announced the additions of Felecity Havens, Jasmine Phillips and Derreyal Youngblood to the program on Tuesday.
Phillips will be eligible immediately and has two years remaining, while Havens and Youngblood must spend one year in academic residency at ECU, according to NCAA transfer rules and can begin competition in the 2015-16 campaign.
Havens lettered four years and was team captain each season under coach Adrienne Gale at Ashley High School. She averaged 21 points, eight rebounds and four assists per game as a senior.
Havens was honored as the Mideastern Conference Player of the Year following her junior year where she averaged 17.3 points and 7.7 rebounds per game, while leading the Eagles to the third round of the 4A state playoffs. Her performance helped her squad to conference championships during three of her four years and earned all-conference team recognition each season.
Additionally, Havens was a standout middle hitter on the volleyball team, while setting the school record for points in a season with 476 and also lettered four years in women’s lacrosse as a midfielder. She initially committed to play at Troy University before transferring to ECU.
“Felecity comes from a winning basketball tradition and possesses a good mix of length, athleticism and a high basketball IQ,” Macy said. “It will be a pleasure to have her as a member of our program and I’m looking forward to watching her growth and development.”
