Fresh off a Conference USA regular-season championship, the Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters have added four transfers to their 2026-27 roster, head coach Brooke Stoehr announced.
Joining Louisiana Tech are Brittani Wells, Alana Obianozie, Jordyn McNeal and Monica Salort Del Saz. The quartet joins incoming freshmen Pressley Powell and E’Marriha Johnson as the newest additions to the Lady Techsters program.
“These young women are tremendous additions to our program,” Stoehr said. “We are thrilled to welcome each of them to the Lady Techsters family. They have been a part of winning programs and understand what it takes to win. Each of them are great teammates and will bring something special to both our program and the Ruston community.”
Wells, a 5-foot-7 senior point guard from Lakeland, Tennessee, arrives after spending last season at University of Tennessee at Martin. She averaged 3.6 assists per game, ranking fourth in the Ohio Valley Conference, while leading her team in 3-point percentage (.402), steals (56) and minutes played per game (35.8).
Wells also has familiarity with the Lady Techsters program. She was teammates with current Louisiana Tech guards Alexia Weaver and Kaleigh Thompson at Three Rivers College and played under current Lady Techsters assistant coach Caleb Livingston during the 2023-24 season.
“Brittani brings a wealth of experience to our backcourt and a leadership ability and work ethic that will help our group continue to compete for championships,” Stoehr said. “Her ability to create for both herself and her teammates will be a tremendous addition to our offensive attack. She shoots it at a high percentage from 3 and can score off the dribble, giving us a three-level scoring threat.”
Obianozie, a 5-9 junior guard from Madison, Alabama, spent the past two seasons at Shelton State Community College, where she helped lead the Lady Bucs to a 30-4 record and an Alabama Community College Conference championship this past season.
She averaged 12.0 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.8 steals and 2.5 assists per game during her junior college career while shooting 49.5 percent from the field. Obianozie earned ACCC All-Tournament Team honors after grabbing a season-high 17 rebounds in the NJCAA South District Championship.
“Alana is a dynamic athlete and competitor who has the ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor,” Stoehr said. “She has an ability to attack the rim and shoots the basketball at a high percentage. Her ability to rebound from the perimeter is uncanny and will be a tremendous addition to our backcourt. She has a willingness to defend and do all the little things that will impact winning in multiple ways for our group.”
McNeal, a 5-11 junior forward from Fort Worth, Texas, joins the Lady Techsters from Murray State College after earning Region 2 Player of the Year honors and Third Team All-American recognition.
She averaged a team-best 12.9 points per game last season while also recording 7.0 rebounds per contest. McNeal finished second on her team in rebounding and ranked among the team leaders in assists and blocked shots while helping guide Murray State College to a 15-1 conference record.
“Jordyn is a versatile athlete who can score and rebound the basketball,” Stoehr said. “She has the ability to shoot the 3 and play with her back to the basket. Her versatility and steady demeanor make her a perfect fit for our team. She has led her team in numerous statistical categories and has impacted winning in a big way.”
Salort Del Saz, a 5-10 guard from Spain, brings an accomplished international résumé to Ruston. She has competed in five Spanish Club National Championships and three Spanish National Team Championships and earned selection to the 2022 Spanish National Team.
She also was named MVP of Alcudia Basketball Club after scoring 45 points in the Balearic Junior Basketball Championship and was selected to the Balearic Islands Regional Team for three consecutive years.
“Monica brings diverse international experience to our program,” Stoehr said. “She is a bigger guard with the ability to play downhill out of ball screen action. Her shooting range and consistency will add to our offensive threat. She plays with a passion and excitement for the game that is contagious.”
The four signees will join a Louisiana Tech program that captured the Conference USA regular-season title in 2025-26 and advanced to postseason play under Stoehr.
