The Edward Waters University women’s basketball program continues to build out its roster, adding guard Asiana Britt through the transfer portal.
Britt arrives from Florida SouthWestern State College, where she appeared in 31 games for the Bucs , where she averages 11.6 points and 3.2 assists per game bringing junior college experience and added depth to the Lady Tigers’ backcourt ahead of the upcoming season.
A Jacksonville native, Britt’s addition carries a bit of homegrown significance, as she returns to a familiar area to continue her collegiate career. Known for her quickness and ability to handle the ball, the approximately 5-foot-6 guard gives Edward Waters another option at the guard spot—particularly in terms of facilitating offense and providing energy on both ends of the floor.
While her statistical production at the JUCO level showcased flashes of playmaking and perimeter scoring, her biggest impact for the Lady Tigers could come in the form of experience and composure. Players coming from the junior college ranks often bring a level of toughness and readiness that translates well, especially for programs looking to elevate their competitiveness within conference play.
A strategic addition for the Lady Tigers
For Edward Waters, this move checks multiple boxes. Britt not only strengthens the team’s guard rotation but also adds competition and depth in a key area. Backcourt play is critical in controlling tempo and limiting turnovers, and Britt’s presence should help stabilize those aspects.
Additionally, adding a player with local ties can be invaluable for program culture. Familiarity with the region and a sense of pride in representing a hometown program often translates into strong buy-in—something every coaching staff values when building a cohesive unit.
Looking ahead
As the Lady Tigers continue to reshape their roster through the transfer portal, moves like this suggest a focus on experience, versatility, and regional recruiting pipelines. Britt may not arrive with overwhelming national attention, but her skill set and background give her a chance to carve out a meaningful role.
If she can bring consistent, steady play, scoring and defensive energy, this addition could quietly pay dividends as Edward Waters looks to take a step forward in the upcoming campaign.
