WHILE WITH THE RAMS:

● KEY RESERVE: Solomon saw action in 22 games, mostly in a reserve role, during her first season with the Black & Gold in 2008-09.  She received her first career start from head coach Beth Cunningham against Tulane (Nov. 20, 2008) and made her first appearance as a Ram at Liberty, scoring two points in a VCU win (Nov. 14, 2008).

● PHYSICAL CONTRIBUTER: Recognized as an athletic forward with the ability to defend and grab rebounds, Solomon’s lanky frame creates problems for opponents.  She averaged 4.9 minutes per outing last season and was a physical spark off the bench.  She tallied a career-high five points, while corralling a pair of rebounds in a home victory against CAA foe George Mason (Jan. 8, 2009), and logged a career-best 13 minutes against Longwood (Dec. 28, 2008).

PRIOR TO VCU:

● PROVEN WINNER: Solomon came to VCU following one-year stint at Georgia Perimeter College.  In her only season with GPC, she averaged 6.5 points and 6.0 rebounds per game, and helped lead the school to the Sweet 16 of the National Junior College Athletic Association tournament.

● CALIFORNIA LOVE: Averaging 10.5 points and 7.0 rebounds per outing, Solomon began her collegiate career at Pasadena City College.  She earned all-conference honors and was named to the National Honor Roll in 2006-07.

● SIN CITY: A native of Las Vegas, Nev., Solomon played four years of basketball at Las Vegas High School.  She was twice named to all-conference and all-division squads, while leading the Wildcats to consecutive conference and division championships.

● SPEEDY SOLO: Solomon’s speed and agility were on display off the hardwood as well during her high school days.   She was a two-year participant with the Las Vegas High School track and field team, where she captured three Sunrise Division gold medals.
