University of Houston head women's basketball coach Todd Buchanan announced Friday that former North Shore High School guard Lauren Flores has transferred from the University of Texas to play for the Cougars.
"Lauren brings immediate credibility to our plan of recruiting the city of Houston and making sure that local kids understand the new vision of this program, which is Houston kids first," Buchanan said.
"I am elated to have her in our program and back home. Having her as a part of this team will reveal an extension of me on the floor as well as off the court. In practice, having another voice in the locker room and her lead by example attitude will help make us better every single day."
Flores played in 25 games at Texas in 2009-10 averaging 10 minutes a game and 2.4 points per contest. She finished the season with 60 points, 24 assists and seven steals. Flores is North Shore's career scoring leader with 2,319 points and guided the Lady Mustangs to the Class 5A quarterfinals.
First-year head coach Buchanan and the University of Houston women's basketball program tips off the 2010-11 season against UT-Arlington on Nov. 14 at 5 pm at Hofheinz Pavilion.
