Ariel Sneed, a 5-foot-11 forward from Harvey, Ill., has joined the Kirkwood women's basketball program and will begin playing for the Eagles next season.

Sneed spent the first semester of the 2012-13 season at the University of Illinois-Chicago, but she did not appear in any regular-season games. She transferred to Kirkwood for this semester and will have two years of eligibility with the Eagles.

Sneed averaged 11 points and four rebounds as a senior at Rich Central High School in Illinois. She attended Thornton High School as a freshman, sophomore and junior and made the honor roll all four years in high school.
