STATESBORO, Ga. – Georgia Southern women's basketball coach Chris Vozab announced today that Patrice Butler and Kelsey Corcoran will transfer to Georgia Southern and join the Eagle roster in the fall.
"We're excited about adding two high-character student-athletes to our roster," said Vozab. "Both Patrice and Kelsey embody the inherent values of our program and will bring an added dimension of athleticism, physicality and toughness to our team."
A 6-foot-2 forward, Butler comes to Georgia Southern from Furman and will have three seasons of eligibility remaining. Butler averaged 5.5 points and 3.0 rebounds a game as a freshman for the Paladins and shot 52 percent from the floor. She was an ESPN HoopGurlz three-star recruit as a prep at Norcross High School and helped lead the Lady Blue Devils to the 2011 state championship.
Corcoran, a 6-foot-2 forward, comes to Georgia Southern from Utah State and will have two seasons of eligibility remaining. Corcoran played three seasons at Skyline High School in Front Royal, Va., where she averaged 14 points and 11 rebounds a game. An ESPN HoopGurlz three-star recruit, she moved over to the Miller School of Albermarle in Charlottesville, Va., and was named the tournament Most Valuable Player in leading the Mavericks to the AAA state championship title. Corcoran played in five games as a freshman at Winthrop before transferring to Utah State, where she sat out last season.
