For the second time in two weeks, ºüÀêÊÓƵ University has added the top scorer from Indiana State — this time for its women’s basketball team.
Mya Glanton, who is from East ºüÀêÊÓƵ, will transfer to play for the Billikens after leading the Sycamores with averages of 11.2 points and 6.9 rebounds.
Coach Rebecca Tillett also signed 6-foot-5 center Marilena Triantafylli, who is from Greece and played one season at Syracuse.
Glanton is a 6-foot forward and has one year of eligibility remaining. She had career highs of 30 points and 18 rebounds last season and started 29 games. She was a three-year starter for Indiana State.
Her signing comes on the heels of the SLU men’s basketball team signing Robbie Avila, who led the Sycamores in scoring and was second in rebounding.

“Having coached against Mya last season and speaking to opposing coaches this season, we all agree that Mya is as difficult to prepare for as she is to play against,†Tillett said. “We believe her energy, enthusiasm and skill set will translate to the Atlantic 10.â€
Triantafylli played in six games as a freshman at Syracuse. She previously played for the EFAOZ women’s team in Greece, averaging 12 rebounds and 4.5 blocked shots.
