Former UTSA women's basketball standout Ereauna Hardaway has agreed to a professional contract with Neptūnas‑Amberton Klaipėda, marking her debut in the Lithuanian basketball scene. The deal brings the American guard into the Biosil‑WBBL and the FIBA EuroCup, two of the most competitive platforms for women's club basketball in Europe.
A New Chapter in Europe
Hardaway’s move follows a senior season in which she transferred from North Texas to UTSA and immediately became the team’s primary point guard. She started 32 games and appeared in 33, shouldering the responsibility of orchestrating the offense while also contributing on the boards.
Her statistical line at UTSA was solid: 11.3 points per game, 3.9 rebounds and a career‑high 154 assists, the seventh‑most in a single season in program history. Those numbers helped the Roadrunners capture the 2026 American Tournament championship, where Hardaway earned a spot on the All‑Tournament team and posted a game‑high 13 points in the final against Rice.
Across the tournament run she averaged 14.7 points, 15 assists and 5.3 rebounds per game, underscoring her ability to influence the game in multiple ways. The experience gained in high‑stakes matchups is expected to translate into a strong showing for her new club.
Looking Ahead
Neptūnas‑Amberton Klaipėda will rely on Hardaway’s playmaking and scoring to bolster a roster that is aiming for both domestic dominance and deep runs in European competition. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely as the former UTSA point guard adjusts to a new style of play and a different basketball culture.
