Anya Abdullah '28 Recruiting Profile

As I begin looking at colleges I want find a fit both academically and athletically—and that truly supports its student-athletes on and off the court. I’m passionate about becoming the best version of myself every day through my energy, attitude, and effort. I bring a team-first mindset. I love seeing my teammates succeed, and I make it a priority to uplift and push them every day. I’m constantly looking for ways to grow—not just in my own skills but also as a leader and supporter. I take pride in being coachable, dependable, and someone who brings positive energy and even a little humor to the locker room.

What sets me apart from other recruits is not just my work ethic, but my commitment to doing the small things that make a big difference—being where I need to be, doing what’s asked of me, and staying focused on the team’s goals. I believe character matters just as much as talent, and I strive to lead by example both in the classroom and in competition.

I’m looking for a program that sees me as a whole person—a student, an athlete, and someone who wants to grow into a successful adult.
