NEW ORLEANS - Head Coach Lisa Stockton received her three commitment to the 2009-2010 Tulane women's basketball team as guard Tyria Snow signed a National Letter of Intent.

Snow is a 5-8 true point guard out of Southwood High School. The Shreveport, La. native has won two 5A state championships in the last three seasons, bookended around a state runner-up finish in 2007. The All-District selection dished out 158 assists last season.

"She is a true point guard with great court vision, good defensive skills, and has the right mentality to lead her team," Stockton said. "She's been to three state championships, so she knows how to win . Coming from one of the strongest high school programs in the state, she's very well coached and extremely competitive. Tyria's background will help her make the transition from high school to college basketball."

Snow rounds out the three-person class for Tulane, which announced two other signees on Saturday.

Two of the three signees for Tulane already have a previous history on the court. In the Louisiana 5A State Championship game, Chapelle High School's Olivia Graystone attempted a game-winning drive in the waning seconds, but Snow stepped in and drew a charge, sealing the win for Southwood.

"It's great to get players out of Louisiana, especially one of this caliber," Stockton added. "Our incoming class is full of winners. They have been highly competitive in high school and had great success. They are the type of student-athlete we are looking for at Tulane: skilled on the court, smart both on the court and in the classroom, and bringing a strong work ethic and winning attitude to our program."
