Columbus native enrolls at BGSU for the spring semester
Bowling Green State University women's basketball coach Jennifer Roos has announced the addition of Alyssa Dean to the program. Dean, a transfer from the University of Memphis, has enrolled at BGSU in time for the Spring 2018 semester.Â
Dean, a 5-8 guard, is a native of Columbus, Ohio, and a graduate of Centennial High School. She is eligible to practice with the Falcons immediately, and will be eligible to play following the conclusion of the Fall 2018 semester. Dean retains three years of eligibility.
"We would like to welcome Alyssa Dean and her family to the BG community and our program," said Roos. "We are excited about having them be a part of our culture.
"Alyssa has the ability to play multiple guard positions, distribute the basketball and create her own shot off the dribble. She will make a positive impact academically, athletically and socially within our program and in campus life."
Dean played in seven games, making two starts, for the Tigers this season. She averaged 4.1 points and 1.1 rebounds per game. Dean had season-high totals of 10 points and 37 minutes played in the season opener vs. Tennessee State.
Last year, as a true freshman, Dean sat out the entire season due to injury.
Dean was a three-year letterwinner at Centennial, scoring over 1,200 points in those three seasons. She missed the 2015-16 season, her senior year, with an ACL injury suffered in the summer of '15. As a junior, Dean averaged 21.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.7 steals per game, and was named to the Associated Press All-Ohio Division II Second Team.
She was named to the AP All-Central District First Team as both a sophomore and a junior, and was rated the No. 75 guard in the nation by ESPNW.com. She was a three-time All-City League North Division Team selection.
In that 2014-15 season, Dean helped Centennial go 20-6 overall and set a school single-season record for wins. The Stars made the school's first-ever City finals appearance that season, and CHS won the City-North Division title for the first time in program history.
As a sophomore, Dean averaged 17.7 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 1.9 apg and 2.5 spg en route to AP All-Ohio honorable mention. The Stars captured the district championship that season. She was an AP all-state honorable-mention choice as a freshman as well, averaging 14.5 ppg, 2.4 rpg, 2.9 apg and 3.7 spg.
Dean also played softball and volleyball at Centennial. She is the daughter of Malik and Kristin Dean and is one of five children.
