Tanaeya BoClair's journey just getting started

EVANSVILLE - University of Evansville women's basketball Director of Basketball Operations Tanaeya BoClair's résumé is an impressive one, especially for someone who has not been around the game for that long.

BoClair's basketball journey began just 12 years ago as a seventh grader. Previous to trying-out for her middle school basketball team, BoClair had focused on volleyball, ballet, and gymnastics.

"I had basically never picked up a basketball before that. I kind of did everything else," said BoClair on starting basketball at a relatively late point in her adolescence.

"I just decided to try out for my middle school basketball team, because everybody always asked me because I was tall," remarked BoClair.
