Bria Tate brings efficient freshman energy and two-way hustle for UCSC
In the 2025-26 season, Bria Tate emerged as a useful first-year guard for UC Santa Cruz, appearing in 23 games and starting 5 while averaging 7.5 points, 30 assists, and 28 steals, with a season-high 21-point outing against Cal Maritime.[1][10] At 5-foot-5, she plays bigger than her frame suggests: she can knock down threes, create a little offense, and bring pesky perimeter pressure that shows up in the box score and in the flow of the game.[1][5] If a team wants an energetic guard who competes hard, handles secondary playmaking, and doesn’t get rattled, Tate looks like a strong fit.[1][5]
