Commits
PUTNAM — After making an official visit this past weekend, Fatima Lee, the 2019 talented guard from Putnam Science Academy decided to commit to Providence College of the Big East Conference.
Lee was the leading scorer for PSA’s first ever women’s basketball team this past winter, where she averaged 10.6 points per game. On multiple occasions, she surpassed the 30-point mark. The junior guard arrived at Putnam with zero offers on the table and now, less than a year later, she has multiple Division 1 offers and she becomes the second player of the inaugural team to commit to a Division 1 program.
“I’m ecstatic for Fatima and her family,” said Head Coach Derek Marchione. “She is one of the hardest workers I’ve ever met. She loves this game so much and for her to earn the chance to play in the Big East, after not having a single offer a few months ago, shows that she’s put in the work.”
Providence Lady Friars are led by Head Coach Jim Crowley. He will be entering his third season this fall. This past season the Lady Friars finished with an overall record of 10-21 and 3-14 in Big East play. Lee should be able to help the Lady Friars get back to top of the Big East in the years to come.
Lee will return to Putnam in the fall for her senior year at Putnam Science Academy.
