MALIBU, Calif. – Pepperdine women's basketball signed transfer Keandra Koorits to the 2026-27 squad with three years of eligibility remaining, head coach Katie Faulkner announced Tuesday.
"Keandra is a dynamic addition to our program," Faulkner said. "At 6'3, she brings rare versatility with the ability to stretch the floor from the perimeter while also being a proven force inside. What excites us most is her hunger to grow not only as a basketball player, but as a leader."
Coming from former conference-foe Washington State, Koorits originates from Tallinn, Estonia. She will join six other international students, representing the sixth country on the squad in addition to the United States, Australia, Germany, Canada, and Romania.
Redshirting her freshman year, Koorits averaged 6.7 points a game through 17.6 minutes of play. Her season high came in the first game of the season last year against Idaho, dropping 23. The redshirt sophomore made two starting lineups, coming to Malibu with a year of West Coast Conference play under her belt.
"Most importantly, Keandra makes our culture better and stronger," Faulkner continued. "She has the desire to serve her teammates and commit to excellence in all aspects of life. We are thrilled to welcome Keandra to Pepperdine and can't wait to coach her."
