Despite a career season flush with recognition, Aaliyah Edwards is looking for more than accolades — she wants the NCAA title that eluded her last season.
“I’m trying to prove that I can make it back there and as a team we can accomplish what we have envisioned for the last two years.”“I think that my main focus is really a lot of our team goals — win the regular season, win the Big East championship and then win the national championship,” she said.
Although they’ve managed, the Huskies have dealt with a slew of injuries, including a broken nose and an ankle/foot injury sustained by Edwards. “You really have to reach outside, greater than yourself if you want to accomplish something. It’s the fourth quarter of our season right now and everyone’s in the same boat. Everyone has challenges, stuff they’re facing physically and mentally, but it’s really about what you’re willing to do to take that next step and be competitive and that relentless approach into every game.”Article content
“I think the difference in her from last year to this year is that she’s been able to consistently score points, rebound the ball and guard the other team’s best player. But on top of that, she’s also gained the ability to knock down the 15-foot jump shot on a more consistent basis.”“We’ve been through a lot this season adversity-wise,” Elliott said. “She shows up at practice — in the game, she’s expected to guard the other team’s best player while putting up a double-double for us.
