Head Coach Steve Garber announced recently that he signed point guard Rachelle Smith. Smith, a 5'6 hails from Des Moines, IA and currently attends Des Moines East High School. Smith helped the Scarlets to a 15-8 record on the season, appearing in all 23 games. She shot 38.8% from the floor and scored 79 points on the year, for a 3.4 points per game average from the point guard position.

"Rachelle will give us a much needed competitive play at the point guard position.  Her hard work and efforts at both ends of the floor will allow her to grow into a valuable asset for next year's team as she will  continue to develop the skills necessary to compete at our level," Garber stated of his newest signee.

Smith will join a Tiger Women's Basketball team who returns eight sophomores looking to improve on their six win total from this past season.
