Anaya Barney brings defense-first grit and glue-girl value for Coastal Carolina
In the 2024-25 season, Barney averaged 1.7 points and 2.0 rebounds in 11.7 minutes per game, but her value goes well beyond box-score noise: she’s a 5-foot-10 guard who can pressure the ball, rack up steals, and give a team toughness and structure on the wing[5][6]. After playing 33 games with 20 starts in the 2023-24 season, she showed she can earn real rotation trust, and Coastal’s notes highlight a season-high eight rebounds plus 14 steals in 2024-25—classic winning-role-player stuff[6][8].
