Taja Edwards brought Fresno State a hard-nosed, all-around presence
In the 2009-10 season, Taja Edwards was a reliable frontcourt piece for Fresno State, playing in all 34 games, starting three, and averaging 4.7 points and 4.5 rebounds in 16.6 minutes per game. Her value goes beyond the box score: she was trusted in a championship-level rotation, showed consistent rebounding effort, and flashed scoring upside with a season-high 12 points at UCSB. The bigger takeaway? She looked like the kind of tough, team-first forward coaches love—steady, versatile, and willing to do the gritty work.
