Marquette Women’s Basketball Signs Amina Traore
The Golden Eagles get a last minute boost to their front court… at least in terms of pure numbers of players if nothing else
Marquette's women's basketball program welcomed Amina Traore, a 6'2" center from Paris, to its roster for the 2026-27 season on the first day of classes. Coach Cara Conseugra praised Traore's versatility, experience, and team-first mentality, noting she'll bring physicality, adaptability, and floor-stretching abilities to the team.
Traore played 21 games at Monaco BA last season, averaging 2.8 points and 2.3 rebounds per game. Representing France at the 2023 U19 Women's World Cup and 2022 U18 European Championship, she averaged 3.9 rebounds and 6.3 points per game internationally. At 22 years old, Traore is the tallest player on the team, a potential asset for Marquette.
However, her eligibility class is listed as "Redshirt," which is no longer applicable under NCAA rules. The Golden Eagles now have three scholarship spots open for the upcoming season, as they aim for a strong showing in their search for an NCAA tournament appearance under Consuegra's leadership.
