ABILENE – Abilene Christian women's basketball added a scoring punch to her program on Tuesday with the addition of Carlota Gomez-Alonso from Madrid, Spain.
Â
"We have signed a very versatile player in Carlota," said ACU Head Coach Julie Goodenough. "She is a really good scorer on the perimeter, both as a guard and a forward. Carlota has experienced much success already in her college career. She led her team this season to the National JuCo tourney as their leading scorer and leading rebounder. I am excited to be her next head coach and for her to join our Wildcat Family."
Â
Gomez-Alonso, a 5-10 guard/forward, spent the past two seasons at Monroe College in New Rochelle, N.Y. During her sophomore campaign, she led the Mustangs to a 19-11 record and a berth to the NJCAA National Championship Tournament. Gomez-Alonso led Monroe in scoring at 16.8 points per game, including a career-high 34-point game on Nov. 19 against Onondaga Community College.
Â
She also led her team in steals at 3.4 per game and her 8.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game were both second on the team for the 2023-24 season. Gomez-Alonso finished the season with nine double-doubles, capped off by a 20-point, 10-rebound effort in the NJCAA Regional Championship game that helped her take home MVP honors.
Â
"For me, ACU is more than just a place to go; it's a place where I can hone my skills on the court and build lasting relationships and personal growth in a welcome atmosphere," said Gomez-Alonso
