BOCA RATON, Fla. – Florida Atlantic University women's basketball has announced the signing of Stetson University transfer Kimia Carter on Thursday. Carter, a guard hailing from Chattanooga, Tennessee, will be eligible to play starting at the 2021-22 season due to NCAA transfer rules.
Carter is coming off a successful rookie season at Stetson, where she was named to the ASUN All-Freshman Team. The guard played in each of the Hatters' 30 games, while drawing the start in 18 of those matchups. Carter was the team's second leading scorer, averaging 8.9 points per game and 9.7 points per game in conference play. During the 2019-20 season, Carter was a four-time ASUN Freshman of the Week honoree and reached double digits in scoring 13 games.
"Kimia was an all-rookie team selection last year, whose attacking scoring style fits us very well," said head coach Jim Jabir. "Kimia is a very big get for Florida Atlantic. She is a great kid from a great family."
At Brainerd High School, Carter averaged 31.2 points per game and shot 54.4 percent from the field as a senior. Carter's incredible season earned her a spot as one of three finalists for the Tennessee Miss Basketball award. Carter scored over 2,000 career points and also played for Team Elite (Ga.) EYBL.
The women's basketball team is currently going through voluntary workouts. For complete coverage of FAU women's basketball during the offseason, follow us on Twitter (@FAUWBB), Instagram (@FAUWBB) and Facebook (Florida Atlantic University Women's Basketball).
