Graduate student and New York native Andra Espinoza-Hunter has already begun to make her mark on the women’s basketball team. After an impressive high school career, she became an established player at Mississippi State after transferring from the University of Connecticut at the end of her freshman year. Adjusting to a new program may be difficult for some, but Espinoza-Hunter is fitting right in.
“Everyone has made it a smooth transition for me,” Espinoza-Hunter said. “There have been no bumps in the road, and everyone treats me as if I have been here since day one.”
There were initial concerns over Espinoza-Hunter’s eligibility for this season, but she was granted a legislative relief waiver by the NCAA in late December to begin play with Seton Hall this season.
