Duke women’s basketball freshman Toby Fournier is making an instant impact

Through her first two collegiate basketball games, five-star Duke freshman Toby Fournier looks ready for a sizable role.

Duke forward Toby Fournier has only played two collegiate basketball games, but it’s safe to say the five-star freshman has answered the simple questions so far.

Fournier, a 6-foot-2 forward from Canada, signed with the Blue Devils as the No. 10 overall player in the 2024 HoopGurlz Recruiting Rankings from espnW, and she looks the part of an ACC Newcomer of the Year.

She scored 13 points during Duke’s Thursday victory over Liberty, her second straight game in double-digits, and ended the night with four rebounds. In the season opener against Radford, she was remarkably productive with 10 points, three rebounds, two steals, an assist, and a block in just 10 minutes.

Fournier is shooting 52.6% from the floor, and her 11.5 points per game sit tied for the third-most on the team through two games.

“You can see she’s going to be really efficient,” head coach Kara Lawson said after Thursday’s win.

It’s worth a reminder for Duke basketball fans, fellow five-star forward Arianna Roberson and Maryland transfer Riley Nelson, another former five-star talent, will rejoin the team in 2025-26 after injuries forced them to redshirt this season. The future looks exceptionally bright at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
