Dawn Thornton will have at least one familiar face to start her first season at Alabama A&M.
And a very important face at that.
Senior guard Coriah Beck, who transferred from the University of Memphis to play for Thornton at Arkansas-Pine Bluff, has committed to AAMU, the coach announced on X, formerly known as Twitter, Monday afternoon.

The 5-foot-11 guard was second-team all-Southwestern Athletic Conference this past season, averaging 12.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 2.4 assists a game for the Golden Lions, who advanced to the conference semifinals this past March and were conference finalists in 2023.
Over her two years at UAPB, Beck scored 685 points, grabbed 248 rebounds, dished out 134 assists, and collected 62 steals in 56 games.
