Fresh Faces: Aly Gamez

FRESNO, Calif. – The Fresno State women's basketball team welcomed four freshmen into the program this fall. Prior to practices beginning on Oct. 2, GoBulldogs.com will introduce each member of the program's newest class.

A crafty, 5-6 point guard, Aly Gamez, was a three-star recruit who captained MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas. A two-time all-district selection, she led her team to a district championship and earned a spot in the TGCA All-Star game.

The 2017 McDonald's All-America nominee, and first-team academic selection, Gamez will be one of four Bulldogs on the 2017-18 roster from Texas, joining former MacArthur standout Tory Jacobs.
