Ashleigh Connor started her college basketball career playing at Saint Louis, made a long stop at La Salle and will now finish it at Iowa State.
Connor, a 5-foot-11 guard from Pittsburgh, Pa., announced on social media on April 17 that she’s committed to play for the Cyclones.
She has one season of eligibility remaining and gives the Cyclones another ball-handler and some scoring punch.
Connor comes to Iowa State after two seasons at La Salle where she averaged 13.5 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 42 games, all starts.
She was at Saint Louis for two seasons, redshirting her first year and then playing 18 games the following season.
Connor’s stock soared during her final season at La Salle when she averaged a career-high 16.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game.
She shot 44% from the field including 34% from 3-point range while running the point for La Salle.
Connor is the third transfer portal pickup for Iowa State, joining Mya Babbitt and Gift Ezekiel.
