Skylar Robertson and Bianca Stevenson Sign With Texas A&M University-Commerce

The Texas A&M University-Commerce women's basketball coaching staff today announced the signing of two key players from the Texarkana Liberty Eylau 2010 state champion team as Skylar Robertson and Bianca Stevenson will join the Lion family.

Robertson has been a three-time all-district and all-area selection for the Lady Leopards, plus co-MVP honors as a junior and senior. As a senior, she averaged 14.9 points a game en route to leading Texarkana-Liberty Eylau to the 3A state title in March. Robertson scored in double figures in 31 of 34 games, including a season-high 25 against Longview.

Head Coach Nicole Anderson on Robertson: “Skylar is an explosive and strong guard, who can play the point and shooting guard positions. She is strong, tough and knowledgeable. She also has the ability to score and create for others. She was able to lead her high school team to a state championship and I am confident that she will help guide our team to great success.”

Stevenson has also been a three-time all-district selection, including first team honors as a junior and senior. She led the area in rebounding and scoring as a senior, en route to co-MVP honors with Robertson, first team all-region and all-state recognition. Stevenson has been selected to play in the TABC All-Star Game on May 20-21 in San Antonio and the TGCA All-Star Game in July.

Head Coach Nicole Anderson on Stevenson: “Bianca will be a force in the paint. She has a tremendous work ethic and is only going to get better. She runs the floor well and takes up a tremendous amount of space in the paint. She is the type of post player who wants the ball in crunch time and knows how to win.”

“We are excited to have Bianca and Skylar join the Lion family. We are looking forward to a long and prosperous career for both of them,” said Anderson.
