Ashley Ann Owusu (born January 22, 2001) is an American college basketball player for the Virginia Tech Hokies of the Atlantic Coast Conference.

College career

Maryland

Owusu was thrust into a leadership role in her sophomore season after five seniors graduated and three players transferred out of the program.[1] She scored her then-career high of 25 points in a game against Towson, breaking it less than a month later with a 34-point performance against Penn State.[2]

In addition to being named a third-team All-American, Owusu was also named the recipient of the Ann Meyers Drysdale Award, awarded to the top college basketball shooting guard in the country.[3][4]

Virginia Tech

On May 4, 2022, Virginia Tech head coach Kenny Brooks announced that his team had added Owusu to their team with two years of eligibility remaining.[5]

National team career

Owusu accepted an invite to attend AmeriCup trials for the United States national team in 2021.[6]
