The now senior forward for the Lady Chaps has racked up wins and accolades over her first three years at LCU and has picked up where she left off helping the Lady Chaps to a 4-0 start to the 2024-2025 season.
Through the first four games, the versatile 6-foot-1 forward is averaging 21.2 points a contest.
“It’s been incredible to be a part of a special program with such great tradition like the Lady Chaps have,” Foster said. “In this day and age of college sports, you see a lot of players transfer and looking for their fit to play. I was lucky that I found mine on my first try. The coaches are unbelievable, I love my teammates, and I love this university. It’s home to me.”
From being a District MVP as well as a Class 3A All-State player at Childress, the 2021 graduate, didn’t take long to show how talented she could be at the college level.
Playing with a veteran national championship group led by former LCU All-American and Nazareth grad, Allie (Schulte) Hicks, Foster appeared in 35 games her freshman season averaging 7.4 points a game with three boards.
That was good enough to land Foster on the Lone Star Conference All-Freshman Team, the first in Lady Chap history.
She continued to thrive from there. As a sophomore, she was named the LSC Player of the Year and D2CCA South Central Region Player of the Year. Foster earned All-American honors leading LCU with 16.4 points a game. Foster claimed the Non-Division I All-Texas MVP and set a single-season mark with 311 rebounds.
“The success LCU has had was a big reason I came here,” Foster said. “When you practice to win every game and knowing that it’s a reality to the culture that is instilled by coach (Steve) Gomez, it makes you want to be here. I just knew coming to LCU would make me a better player.”
Through the first four games of her senior season, Foster is currently sitting at 1,395 career points to go with 657 career rebounds. While the stats are more for fans to clammer at, Foster’s focus is on now being the leader she was taught to be and carrying on the groundwork laid by coach Gomez and the Lady Chaps before her.
“I think I’ve really learned to become an all-around player since high school,” Foster said. “That’s one thing the players before me taught me. It was always being in the gym and working on how to get better whether that’s understanding the game or your skill.
“We have a really good team and I’m in the role of setting a standard as a leader. I know us as seniors have expectations to follow. You practice how you perform, and we want to perform are best every single time we step on the court.”
