UALR women sign JUCO transfer

The University of Arkansas at Little Rock announced the signing of Grayson College (Texas) transfer Sali Kourouma on Wednesday. The 5-11 forward from Kati, Mali, joins the Trojans as a sophomore.

Kourouma was named the North Texas Junior College Athletic Conference Newcomer of the Year in 2021 after averaging 18.7 points and 10.3 rebounds in her lone season at Grayson. She recorded 15 double-doubles and eclipsed 30 points five times times as the Vikings finished with a 19-4 record. Kourouma shot 51.5% from the field and 34.5% from three-point range.

Kourouma likely will slot into the interior alongside Trojans forward Krystan Vornes, who will return in 2021-22 after suffering a knee injury in the first round of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament in March.
