TORONTO (ESPN CLARKSVILLE) — Austin Peay State University women’s basketball legend Tiasha Gray is heading back to Sweden.
The Clarksville native and 2016 Austin Peay graduate is returning to the Swedish Damligan, where she was the 2016-17 Most Valuable Player and led the league in scoring and steals, with Hogsbo, a squad that gained promotion to the Damligan this past season. In 2017-18, Gray played in Israel and Lebanon before returning home to rehab a minor knee injury.
Gray also reunites with Robin Sandberg, who was head coach at Mark Basket during Gray’s MVP-winning 2016-17 campaign.
The two-time All-Ohio Valley Conference selection finished her career ranked second in school history in scoring (1,885 points), second in assists (514), first in steals (314) and fourth in three-pointers (172). She also owns two of the 11 triple-doubles secured by OVC players since the 1997-98 season.
“I am very grateful for the opportunity from Hogsbo Basket,” said Gray. “I am excited to play in Sweden again and to have Robin as our coach. I am looking forward to a great season.”
