PSA’s Adut Tour commits to Felician University
PUTNAM — Putnam Science Academy announced that Adut Tour’s commitment to continue her academic and basketball career at Felician University.
Tour has been a member of the women’s basketball program at PSA for the past two seasons. Originally from New Hampshire, she previously attended and played two years at Trinity High School before transferring to Putnam Science as a junior.
After spending her junior season adjusting to a new program, Tour emerged this past year as one of the team’s top leaders both on and off the court. Known for her toughness, defensive intensity, and relentless rebounding ability, she became a key piece of the program’s success.
“Felician is getting a great athlete,” said Putnam Science Athletic Director Thomas Espinosa. “Adut helped lead the Lady Mustangs to a national final four this year, and we were probably one of the hottest teams in the country during February and March. Adut is one of my favorites to come through Putnam Science. She always has a smile on her face, while also always being ready to work and compete. It’s been really fun watching her development over the last two years.”
Head coach Marigona Bacaliu credited Tour as one of the driving forces behind the team’s turnaround season.
“She really became a vocal leader of the program,” Bacaliu said. “Everyone went to her for the things that needed to be said or done. We know she has a bright future, and we can’t wait to follow her career at the next level.”
Tour developed into a strong, versatile wing player whose defense and rebounding became major strengths for the Lady Mustangs throughout the season. Her growth as both a player and leader helped elevate the program to one of its most successful seasons in recent memory.
