Women’s basketball coach Terri Williams-Flournoy announced Thursday, May 14, that Tiffany Lewis, who started 17 games at Clemson during the 2014-15 season, has signed a financial aid agreement and will enroll at Auburn for the 2015-16 school year.
The 5-foot-8-inch guard will sit out for the 2015-16 season because NCAA transfer rules, but will have two years of eligibility remaining starting with the 2016-17 season.
“We are thrilled to have Tiffany join our women’s basketball team,” Williams-Flournoy said. “She’s a great athlete and can really shoot the ball. Tiffany’s two years in the college game will bring great experience and strong leadership to our Auburn women’s basketball program.”
Lewis played her sophomore season at Clemson after spending one year at Chipola College, and appeared in 29 games, making 17 starts as a sophomore. She averaged 8.4 points and 2.1 rebounds in 27.9 minutes per game and was the team’s leading 3-point shooter, connecting on 50-of-183 attempts, setting the school’s record for most 3-point attempts by a sophomore.
Lewis was the team’s leading scorer in two games and achieved double digits 11 times. She was a 79.6-percent free-throw shooter, making 39-of-49 attempts from the line and was also named to the ACC Women’s Basketball All-Academic Team.
In one season at Chipola College, she averaged 10.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists, and made 86-of-235 3-point attempts. She scored in double-figures in 19 games and made at least one 3-pointer in 31 of 36 games, and was named to the 2014 All-Panhandle Conference First Team, NJCAA National All-Tournament Team, and helped her team to a third-place finish at the NJCAA National Tournament.
Lewis, a Murfreesboro, Tennessee, native from Riverdale High School, helped her team to the Tennessee Class AAA state title in 2013, and her team was named national champions by ESPN. She was then rated a three-star prospect by ESPN HoopGurlz.
