Lady Jags Land Pair of Transfers
Stallings, Woods to join ASU women's basketball program

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Augusta State head women’s basketball coach Tes Sobomehin announced Thursday the addition of a pair of transfers to the Lady Jaguar program.

Kirsten Stallings, a 6-0 forward from Memphis, Tenn., and Jarquella Woods, a 5-2 point guard from Columbus, Ga., come to ASU from Florida A&M in Tallahassee, Fla. Stallings will have one year of eligibility remaining while Woods will have two years of eligibility left.

Stallings, who spent three seasons at FAMU, played in 28 games and made one start for the Lady Rattlers as a junior in 2008-09. She averaged 8.7 minutes, 1.2 points and 1.8 rebounds per game while shooting 36.4 percent from the field.

“Kirsten is an impressive post player who adds to our talent pool in the low post and defensively,” Sobomehin said. “She’s also a very good passer in the post and runs the floor well. We are fortunate to add Kirsten for her senior year and look forward to her helping us get back to the top of the Peach Belt Conference.”

Woods, who prepped at Hardaway High in Columbus, Ga., played two seasons in the Lady Rattler program. As a sophomore, she appeared in 30 games, making five starts and averaging 2.9 points and 1.3 assists per game. She shot 31.9 percent from the field, including 30.5 percent from 3-point range.

“Jarquella is an experienced point guard with a lot of basketball knowledge and skill,” Sobomehin said. “She will compete for an opportunity to lead our running attack and pressure defense on the court. She is an outstanding student and we are glad to have her join the family.”

The Lady Jags return four starters and seven letterwinners from the 2008-09 squad, including all-conference performer Jasmine Godwin.
