TCU women's basketball has landed a major transfer commitment from Stanford freshman forward Lara Somfai. The 6-foot-3 Australian averaged 10.8 points and 9.1 rebounds per game while shooting 40.9% from the floor during her first season with the Cardinal. Somfai, who started all 32 games for Stanford in 2025-26, will fill a frontcourt vacancy left by the graduation of All-Big 12 player Marta Suarez.
Why it matters
Somfai's transfer is a significant addition for TCU as they look to rebuild after back-to-back Elite Eight runs. The young forward projects as an immediate starter who can complement sophomore center Clara Silva in the Horned Frogs' frontcourt.
The details
Somfai, a native of Adelaide, South Australia, Australia, attended IMG Academy in Florida before joining Stanford. As a freshman, she was named to the ACC All-Freshman Team and earned four ACC Rookie of the Week honors. She was also named the USBWA National Freshman of the Week in late November.
- Somfai played her freshman season with Stanford in 2025-26.
The players
Lara Somfai
A 6-foot-3 freshman forward from Adelaide, South Australia, Australia who played one season at Stanford before transferring to TCU.
Clara Silva
A sophomore center for TCU who averaged 9.0 points and 7.4 rebounds per game in her first season with the Horned Frogs.
Marta Suarez
A graduating starter and All-Big 12 player for TCU, leaving a frontcourt vacancy that Somfai will look to fill.
The takeaway
Somfai's transfer to TCU is a significant boost for the Horned Frogs as they aim to reload after consecutive Elite Eight appearances. The young Australian forward's size, skill, and experience starting at the Power 5 level make her an ideal fit to step in and contribute immediately alongside Clara Silva in TCU's frontcourt.
