Three women’s basketball players announced this week they are transferring to GW. 

Bryant University junior forward Silvia Gonzalez, Loyola Chicago guard and forward Emma Theodorsson and University of Kentucky sophomore guard Tanah Becker will join a program that has been rebuilt this spring from the top down, with the hiring of Head Coach Ganiyat Adeduntan in March and the addition of an entirely new coaching staff in April. The three transfers will join former Georgetown University guard Jadea Wilson and Claflin University guard Nya Morris, who announced their transfers last month, as portal additions to the Revolutionaries team that finished 12th in the Atlantic 10 last year. 

In an interview following her introductory event of GW Athletics staff and program supporters in April, Adeduntan said she was looking for players who can fit her fast-paced coaching style and can be weapons from beyond the 3-point line. Last season, GW placed 290th out of 362 Division I teams in pace of play. 

“Trying to build a roster that’s going to fit in the way that we’re trying to play,” Adeduntan said in April. “It’s up tempo, disruptive defensively. We need players that can space the floor, so we’re trying to recruit there, and then this new landscape, there’s a lot of kids in the portal, but for us, we’re strategic with how we want to play.”

Last offseason, the team brought in five players through the transfer portal, including graduate student Makayla Andrews, who led the team in scoring with 11.6 points per game in her lone season at GW after joining from Lafayette College. 

Here’s a look at the three newest Revs:

Tanah Becker

Becker, a guard from Winnipeg, Canada, appeared in four games for the Wildcats out of their 31 games last season. She averaged 1.8 ppg in 4.2 minutes a night, shooting 75 percent from the field in her limited sample size. 

Becker represented Canada in the 2021 U16 FIBA Americas Tournament, where the team took home silver. She scored 21 points in five games in the tournament, including 8 in a quarter-final matchup against Chile. The former Wildcat also received invites to the 2023 and 2024 BioSteel All-Canada Games, which feature the top 24 basketball players in the nation. 

Emma Theodorsson

Theodorsson, a guard and forward from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, spent last season at Loyola Chicago, another A-10 school. She averaged 9.4 ppg for the Ramblers in the 2024-25 season, with 4.4 rebounds and 0.8 assists. Theodorsson started 21 of her team’s 30 games, including the Ramblers’ 65-44 first-round exit to the Revs in the A-10 championship, where she scored 4 points and brought in seven rebounds.

Prior to her season in Chicago, she played two years at Bucknell University, where her 13.2 ppg average earned her a spot on the Second Team All-Patriot League. She also played for the Icelandic National Team at the 2023 FIBA U20 Championship, where she averaged 8.7 points over seven games. 

Silvia Gonzalez

Gonzalez, a 6’2” guard from Catalonia, Spain, averaged 4.6 ppg in her two seasons with the Bulldogs. She started six games each in her freshman and sophomore seasons and picked up a career high of 17 points against University of Massachusetts Lowell in February of 2024, shooting five of 11 from 3-point territory in the game. Gonzalez played for the Spanish National Team as a young athlete for their U12, U13 and U14 squads and won multiple Catalonian Championships. Her 3-point success — 33.1 percent off 178 attempts in her career — will be greatly valued on a GW team that finished 12th in the A-10 with a 27.1 team shooting percentage.
