Khadija Faye played a huge part in helping the Pittsburgh women’s basketball team tie a long-standing NCAA record on Sunday.
Faye, who was the 2020 Volusia-Flagler High School Sports Awards Girls Basketball Player of the Year, scored 21 points to help the Panthers erase a 32-point first half deficit to beat SMU, 72-59.
The 32-point comeback was the biggest in NCAA women’s basketball history, tying a mark set by Texas State in a 2006 win over UTSA.
Mikayla Johnson led Pitt with 22 points.
The 2024-25 Volusia-Flagler High School Sports Awards, Presented by Halifax Health, are on June 2 at the Ocean Center Arena. Tickets will be available soon.
