EUGENE, Ore. — The Oregon women's basketball team has added forward Taylor Hosendove to its 2021-22 roster, head coach Kelly Graves announced on Wednesday.
A 6-foot-1 transfer from Georgia State, Hosendove will join the Ducks as a senior with two years of eligibility available. She led the Panthers in scoring and rebounding each of the last two seasons.
"Taylor is a good addition to our program," said Graves. "She is a versatile player who can play both inside and out and do a little bit of everything for us. I really love the toughness that she will bring to our team. We're excited to get her to Eugene and get to work."
Hosendove averaged 12.5 points and 8.8 rebounds per game for Georgia State in 2020-21, shooting 46.9 percent from the floor and 34.5 percent from three-point range. She also led the Panthers with 33 steals and was second in both assists (54) and blocked shots (23) while starting 23 of 24 games.
A Los Angeles native, Hosendove scored in double figures 14 times as a junior while racking up eight double-doubles. She had an 18-point, 16-rebound performance vs. Tennessee State in the second game of the season, and she went 10-of-14 from the floor for a career-high 28 points while grabbing 12 rebounds on February 11 at Georgia Southern.
In her first season at Georgia State in 2019-20, Hosendove averaged 11.4 points and 8.9 rebounds per game while shooting 43.7 percent from the field. She had nine double-doubles and ranked in the top five in the Sun Belt Conference in rebounding.
Hosendove started her collegiate career at Clemson in 2018-19, averaging 4.4 points and 3.1 rebounds in 32 games. She joined the Tigers after starring at Westlake High School, where she led her team to a Georgia 7A State Championship.
