Anderson University Women's Basketball
Dear Trojan Army,
Greetings from Anderson University Women’s Basketball! On behalf of our Trojans, I would like to thank you for supporting our mission of providing an exceptional academic and athletic experience for our student-athletes.
As Women’s Basketball coach, your generosity ensures that each student-athlete can have fun, explore their faith, form relationships, and build accountability within their teams. Additionally, Anderson University Athletics continually leads the South Atlantic Conference in academic standing and consistently breaks school records in competition and in the classroom each year!
Gifts to the Trojan Athletic Fund and Women’s Basketball program have supported us as we have made fourteen NCAA Tournament appearances, including six in a row from 2014-2020. Samantha Michel won the SAC Defensive Player of the Year for the 2020-2021 season, while graduate Shameka McNeill won three straight SAC Player of the Week awards during the 2021-2022 season! The 2021-2022 season also saw Diamond McDowell win the SAC Freshman of the Year award!
Anderson University Women’s Basketball thanks you and we look forward to seeing you at our games soon!
Go Trojans!
Coach Jonathon Barbaree
