Freshman forward Alia Austin gives Notre Dame of Maryland an interior jolt
Alia Austin looks like a promising fit for Notre Dame of Maryland because the 6-foot freshman forward from Baltimore has already shown she can bring scoring punch and physicality inside, including a 10-point, 5-rebound outing against McDaniel in the 2025-26 season and a 12-point spark in 15 minutes against Valley Forge. Her biggest differentiator is that she can stabilize the Gators when the offense bogs down, plus the staff has highlighted her as part of the team’s needed interior presence in the 2025-26 season. In short: she’s a young, energetic frontcourt piece with upside and a clear role.
