Melissa Sweat, who led Stockdale High to the Central Section Division I girls basketball championship last season before transferring to Liberty-Madera Ranchos, gave an oral commitment to San Diego State.
Sweat is expected to sign her letter of intent in November. She had 24 points and 12 rebounds as second-seeded Stockdale defeated No. 1 Clovis West 70-60 for the section title March 7 at Selland Arena.
A full family move for work purposes prompted the transfer to Madera Ranchos. Sweat was a three-year starter for Stockdale, earning all-state honors from Cal-Hi Sports each year.
The 5-foot-10 Sweat is ranked the 70th best player in the nation according to hoopgurlz.com.
She joins a Division IV Hawks team that went 1-21 last season, including an 0-10 mark in the North Sequoia League.
"We're trying to build a basketball community here," Liberty-Madera Ranchos coach Rebecca Harp-Sligh said. "And we're looking forward to Melissa bringing some excitement into our program and our community."
