McFadden is the Newest Lady Lion

Penn State Beaver Women's Basketball program is happy to announce that Tara McFadden from New Brighton High School, Pa is the newest high school senior that will be joining the Lady Lions next fall.  Coach Moore is excited to have McFadden joining the program stating she "is an athletic, dedicated, hard worker who has enormous amounts of potential to develop as a player.  It is also great that we are able to add local talent to our roster."

While playing basketball for nine years, Tara said "I love basketball and am excited to have the opportunity to continue my playing career and reaching my full potential as a player."

Academically, Tara is interested in pursuing a career in Speech and Language Pathology.  She says that starting at Penn State Beaver will allow her to figure out if this is the correct career path for her as well as save money before transitioning to University Park.

Some of Tara's hobbies include camping, playing with her dog, and art.  Aside from basketball, Tara has also played volleyball and softball throughout her high school athletic career.
