Samford’s two-way engine and SoCon star guard
Andrea Bailey was the driving force for Samford in the 2022-23 season, earning SoCon Player of the Year honors after averaging 17.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.6 assists while starting all 28 games.[1][6] Her calling card is aggressive shot creation and disruptive defense—she led the conference in steals per game and total steals, showing real two-way impact, not just volume scoring.[1] For a team, she projects as a high-intensity guard who can carry offensive usage, pressure the ball, and bring proven league-level production.
