PORTLAND, Ore. --- The Portland women's basketball program is adding twin sisters Jacksen and Tyler McCliment-Call as the two recruits have both signed a National Letter of Intent and will join the Pilots as freshmen, announced head coach Michael Meek. The sisters are both guards out of University High School in Spokane, Wash.
 
"Tyler and Jacksen fit perfectly within our program and it was that feeling from the very beginning of the process," Meek said. "Both are great teammates and tireless workers, which fit the style of student-athletes representing our program. They both have a strong desire to be a part of and contribute to something special. We are thrilled to add them as the start of our first full signing class."
 
Prior to University High School, the pair helped Post Falls High School win the 2018 Idaho 5A State Championship. Tyler was named the state tournament MVP after averaging 23 points, on 57 percent shooting, and 7.7 rebounds per game. She also garnered All-Inland Empire League recognition.
 
"We are very excited about the intensity and competitiveness Tyler will bring to this program," added Meek. "She is a very versatile all-around player who will bring aggressive defensive play and multifaceted scoring abilities."
 
Tyler, at 6-foot, and Jacksen, who's 5-foot-10, also excel on the track, and they play club for the Spokane Stars.
 
"Jacksen is a great worker and a fantastic shooter" continued Meek. "We are excited about adding her work ethic to our program and her ability to score on many levels. Throughout the recruiting process it was an awesome experience to get to know them and their parents, Pat and Regan.

"We're also excited to eventually add to this recruiting class in the future."
