PITTSBURGH — Pitt women’s basketball continues to add for the future, as they landed a commitment from Angela Le Faou, a Class of 2025 forward.
Le Faou plays both forward and center and stands at 6-foot-5. She plays for the Tony Parker Academy in Lyon, France, named after former NBA guard Tony Parker, who won four NBA Championships with the San Antonio Spurs and was a six-time All-Star.
She also plays for FC Lyon ASVEL Féminin️ and previously played for Saint Delphin Basket. She is of French and Spanish descent, playing for Spain at the FIBA U16 Women’s European Championship in Izmir, Turkey in 2023.
Le Faou is an athletic post player ,who is mobile and attacks the rim well for a player of her stature. She also shoots exceptionally from 3-point range and is a strong defender in the paint.
⚫️⚪️ I’m proud and excited to announce my commitment to Pitt women’s basketball for the next season,” Le Faou wrote on her Instagram post.
“🏀I’d like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Elite Sports Academy for their invaluable support and for helping me turn my dreams into reality. ⛹🏻♀️Also, I’d like to thank SaintDelphinBasket, who saw me grow up as a player. Many thanks to my current team, FC Lyon ASVEL Féminin️. I was able to achieve great things with the coaches, my teammates, and all the staff of the Tony Parker Adéquat Academy. Thank you all so much.
“🤩The most important thing for me is to say thanks to my family, my parents, and my sisters, who have followed and supported me in all my projects since the very beginning. 😊Also, thank you, my friends, for being with me for so long. I’m very grateful to have you by my side.
