CSUN Forward Mariona Cos-Morales Signs First Pro Deal in Spain After Leading Team in Rebounds
Mariona Cos-Morales, a 6'1" senior forward from Spain, capped her NCAA career by signing a professional contract with Lima Horta Barcelona for the 2026-27 season, marking her transition from Div. I basketball to the professional ranks [6]. During her 2024-25 season at Rider (where she started all 29 games), she led the team with 4.1 rebounds per game and finished fourth in scoring at 6.6 PPG, showcasing her intensity and reliability as a consistent starter [3]. In her 2025-26 stint with CSUN Matadors, she averaged 4.3 points and 3.7 rebounds per game, demonstrating solid floor presence despite a 36.6% field goal percentage [1][2]. Her differentiator is her European pedigree and proven ability to anchor a team’s frontcourt with high rebounding intensity; she’s a low-risk, high-character fit for teams needing a physical, experienced forward who brings professional ambition and a no-nonsense approach to the game.
