Mustaros becomes the Aces’ first signee out of the transfer portal for UE for the 2025-26 season
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Mireia Mustaros has been announced as the newest signee to the University of Evansville women’s basketball team by head coach Robyn Scherr.
When Mireia visited campus, it was an instant fit! I felt like she was already part of our team,” exclaimed Scherr. “One of the things that drew me to Mireia was her desire to be pushed and challenged.
“She played for a coach with high standards at Odessa, and her game grew in her two years there. I love that she brings us size and versatility in the post with her ability to play inside and on the perimeter. She is a player who will continue to improve, and I am thrilled to be her coach!”
Mustaros has spent the past two seasons at Odessa College at the JUCO level. Last season, the Wranglers finished the year at 19-9 overall with a 10-6 conference record. Mustaros helped the Wranglers to the NJCAA Region V Women’s Basketball Tournament. She was also part of the 2023-24 Wrangler team that was the NJCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Runner-Ups as they lost by only a basket to nearby Wabash Valley CC.
In her two years with Odessa, Mustaros appeared in 60 games with 44 starts. As a freshman, Mustaros averaged 15.8 minutes, 4.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, 0.9 steals, and 0.3 blocks a game. In her sophomore season, Mustaros raised her game averages to 21.4 minutes, 5.1 points, and 4.4 rebounds. The sophomore had a career-high game against Trinidad State College on Nov. 2, 2024, scoring 12 points by shooting 87.5% from the floor and adding six rebounds. Her best rebounding game came Feb. 24, 2025, as she pulled down 10 boards against Clarendon College.
Originally from Mataró, Barcelona, Mustaros played for Unió Esportiva Mataró prior to moving to the United States for school. U.E. Mataró competes in Second FEB under the Spanish Basketball Federation and has teams for kids as young as 14 all the way up to their U20 teams. Mustaros is also part of PickUs Education, a consultancy group that helps international basketball players find programs in the United States to grow both their game and academics. Former Ace Júlia Palomo (La Seu d’Urgell, Spain) was also a member of PickUs Education.
“I chose UE because from the first moment I felt it was the perfect place to grow as a person and as a player,” says Mustaros. “I loved the welcoming environment and the commitment of the coaches to the development of each player. I felt an immediate connection with the girls and the staff, and I am very excited to start this new stage in a place like UE.”
Mustaros will join Evansville over the summer as the team conducts workouts in June and July. The Purple Aces officially begin the basketball season with their first official practice in late September of 2025.
