Mariya Williams '19 Recruiting Profile

I am a student-athlete and take strong pride to keep my academics above average. I have been playing basketball since elementary school and love the game. You can say basketball is in my blood as my mother played DI basketball in college. I consider myself a unique basketball player for my height and size. As a 6' 0 forward I am just as quick as 90% of the guards in my conference. I am able to guard all 5 positions on defense. I rank in the top 10 in our basketball conference. I am the #1 Rebounder in my school conference. I made 1st Team All-Conference for my high school Varsity Women's basketball team.  I am a well-known rounded person who is highly recognized as a scholar and an athlete by my peers and teachers.  I have also been recognized as a leader among my peers as well as school administration. My goal is to attend college to secure a fascinating career in Sports Medicine and play college basketball where my basketball skills will impact the team to win championships. I am also dedicated to earn my degree in higher education.
