RICHMOND, Va. – VCU Women's Basketball Head Coach Beth O'Boyle has announced the addition of guard Alexis Black.
 
Black, a 5-foot-9 guard, spent the past two seasons at Appalachian State where she played in 59 games for the Mountaineers. Last season, Black played in 32 games while averaging 9.5 points, 2.7 rebounds and shooting 33.3 percent from 3-point range. Black joins the Rams as a junior.
 
"We're really excited to welcome Alexis to Ram Nation," said O'Boyle. "She is a three-level scorer who has an incredible work ethic and passion for the game of basketball. Alexis brings with her a great understanding of what it takes to be successful at the collegiate level and is a great fit for our style of play."
 
Black averaged 14.5 points per game over the final eight games of the season, scoring in double figures in all eight. Overall, she reached double figures in scoring 15 times last season. Black posted a career-high 24 points on 8-of-14 shooting against Sun Belt Champion Marshall on Feb. 15.
 
Black joins freshmen Cyriah Griffin and Isabel Whitelaw as newcomers on a team that returns 12 letter winners. VCU went 26-6 overall last season, setting the program record for regular season wins and earned a bid to the inaugural WBIT.
