Amaya Stewart brings efficient scoring pop and frontcourt poise to Albany
In the 2025-26 season, Amaya Stewart emerged as a high-impact freshman for Albany, averaging 12.2 points and 5.1 rebounds in 30 games while shooting 47.5% from the field and finishing with a season-high 25 points; she also led the team with 22 blocks and was recognized by America East for Rookie of the Year and Sixth Woman of the Year honors. What makes her interesting is the combo: strong rebounder, polished footwork, explosive face-up game, and a steady, confident presence that translated quickly from high school star to college producer—exactly the kind of versatile forward that helps good teams get tougher.
