Theresa Brown: ‘I’m excited to be a Badger’

The Brock women's basketball team has added a talented scoring threat to their lineup for next season.
 
Theresa Brown, a guard from Brampton, is transferring from Sheridan College to Brock University for the 2021-22 campaign.
 
Brock Badgers head coach Mike Rao found that Brown, who played four seasons for the Bruins, was consistently the best player on the floor when he was scouting Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA) games.
 
"Theresa will be a great scoring option. She can create her shot, and if we isolate her, then she'll be that kind of player," said Rao. "Combine that with a few other pieces we have, and we'll be dangerous."
 
Brown joined the 1,000-point club during the 2019-20 season and finished as Sheridan's all-time leading scorer. She was named the Bruins 2019 Female Athlete of the Year and has earned several OCAA All-Star team honours.
 
She averaged 14.3 points per game during her four years in the OCAA, including 5.1 rebounds and a 26.4 shooting percentage from beyond the arc.
 
Brown helped the Bruins become a winning team during her time at Sheridan and is looking forward to contributing to Brock's competitive trend in Ontario University Athletics.
 
"I chose Brock because the energy I got from coach Rao was very pure," said Brown, who is pursuing a degree in Child and Youth Studies. "Brock is the perfect environment to help me develop into the complete player I need to be to obtain my goals."
 
Rao was impressed with Brown's efforts to pursue an opportunity to play in U SPORTS.
 
"It's a testament to her. She's a good student and did her homework on our team and school," he said. "Theresa was looking for a good fit when it came to basketball. I think student-athletes today are better versed in where they want to go. They're not going in blind. They're doing the legwork on their academic program, the regional area and the team."
 
The Badgers playoff run to the national gold-medal game caught Brown's attention. She was sold on the program when they were named the OUA Female Team of the Year.
 
"Winning that team award means they have a healthy environment where everyone pushes and is held accountable to be the best they can be," she said. "I would love to be a part of that. I'm excited to be a Badger."
