For her, it’s not just about scoring—it’s about seeing the whole floor, making quick decisions, and creating opportunities for others. She takes pride in being the one her team can count on to stay calm under pressure and keep everyone focused and working together.
Azyua is inspired by her mother on and off the court. Her mother’s strength, determination, and constant support motivate her to push through challenges and stay focused on her goals. Watching her mom balance life’s responsibilities with grace has taught Azyua the importance of hard work, discipline, and never giving up. On the court, she channels that same drive and leadership, always striving to be someone her teammates can depend on—just like she depends on her mom.
Her work ethic doesn’t stop with basketball—Azyua is also a top-performing student, proudly holding a 4.0 GPA. She balances the demands of academics and athletics with maturity and discipline beyond her years.
