Ayanna Townsend brings veteran interior production and efficient scoring to Duquesne
Ayanna Townsend is a sturdy, battle-tested 6-foot-2 center who gives Duquesne reliable low-post scoring, rebounding, and rim protection; in the 2023-24 season she averaged 7.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 0.8 blocks while shooting 48.0% from the floor and starting 30 of 34 games.[1][2] She matters because she’s more than a box-score player: Duquesne’s staff has highlighted her high-level rebounding and interior scoring, and her captain-level résumé plus academic consistency point to a dependable, high-character fit who should stabilize a frontcourt without needing the ball to thrive.[4][15]
