STONY BROOK, N.Y. — The Stony Brook women's basketball team has added an impact transfer to its ranks.
 
Head coach Caroline McCombs has announced that rising junior Earlette Scott will join the Seawolves for the upcoming season.

"We've known Earlette for a long time, having recruited her out of high school over at South Shore and are excited to welcome her into our Seawolves family," McCombs said. "Earlette has played against some of the best throughout her basketball career and is a fierce competitor. She has a tremendous feel for the game and can play multiple positions. We believe she will come into our program and thrive within our culture. We can't wait to have her on campus soon!"
 
The Brooklyn native returns home to New York after spending her first two collegiate seasons at Providence. In her career with the Friars, Scott played in all 67 games with 19 total starts while tallying 327 points and 191 rebounds. 
 
As a sophomore this past season, Scott saw her role on the court grow as she earned 16 starts and averaged 26.4 minutes per game. She provided a consistent scoring presence for Providence, averaging 7.7 points per game including 11 double-digit outings. 
 
The guard also recorded 114 rebounds, 66 assists, 31 steals and seven blocks in her 2019-20 campaign.

"The love at Stony Brook was genuine from the start," Scott said. "From being one of my first recruiters in high school and now my sophomore year in college, they've always treated me like family. The players and coaches treated me like their own before I even made it official. They showed me their love of the process and the focus on getting better every day. The prime location of the university is the cherry on top for me since New York is my hometown. It gives an opportunity for my family and friends to come support me more often."
 
Scott was a four-year letterwinner at South Shore High School where she was coached by Anwar Gladden. She led the Lady Vikings to four Public School Athletic League championships and the New York State Federation title in 2017. 
 
A three-time all-state selection, Scott was named the MVP of the 2016 PSAL championship game and earned all-tournament honors in 2017.
 
Scott played in the AAU circuit with the New York Gauchos where she was coached by Earl Elliotte.

Said Scott: "I'm happy I didn't have to search far to find a program that shares my championship mentality."
