Greek National Star & TWU Double-Digit Scorer from Lamar Days
Ria Pateraki, a 6'1" power forward born in 1993, showcased her rebounding prowess and scoring touch during her U.S. college stints at Lamar (2011-12) and Texas Woman's University, where she started 25 of 28 games in the 2013-14 season, averaging 10.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, .485 FG%, and .794 FT%—including a career-high 22 points. A high school champion in Greece and U-18 national team vet, she earned Academic All-American honors with a 4.0 GPA at TWU (fall 2014). Post-college, she represented Greece in 2021 FIBA Eurobasket qualifiers and played pro in Greece's Division 1 since 2018; now 32, her international pedigree, physicality, and smarts make her a proven veteran fit for teams seeking tough, efficient forwards.
