The sophomore forward joins the Purple Aces after a year with Winthrop
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Evansville women’s basketball has announced the addition of forward Claudia Clement for the 2024-25 season.
“I am excited Claudia has chosen to join us at UE!” says Head Coach Robyn Scherr-Wells of the addition. “With 3 years of eligibility, it is a great opportunity for us to grow together. Her length and versatility will be a great addition to our post group.
“I can’t wait to see how her game continues to grow from the perimeter and inside. Like many of the successful posts we have had at UE, she has the perimeter skills to stretch the defense, and the size and length to make a difference at the rim. She’ll give us great versatility on defense with her length and athleticism, especially at the top of the press.”
Clement joins the Purple Aces after spending her first season of collegiate basketball with the Winthrop Eagles. As an Eagle, Clement appeared in 19 games. Prior to her time in North Carolina, Clement spent two years with Barça in the Catalan Basketball Federation as part of the program’s junior team. Clement also spent time on the Spain Youth National team in 2021. Clement has a background in ballet along with her time in basketball.
“I chose UE because its sports program has a strong reputation and offers excellent opportunities for my athletic development,” said Clement of joining the Purple Aces. “Additionally, the university’s academic quality and programs in my field of interest are very impressive. I was also drawn to the campus atmosphere with its vibrant student community. The combination of sports, academic excellence, and the university ambiance made Evansville the perfect choice for me!”
Clement is the daughter of Francisco Clement and Maribel Marsan and has one sibling, her older brother Hugo Clement. While at UE, Clement will be studying sociology and in her free time enjoys watching movies.
