The ASA Women's Basketball was started in the fall of 2008. The team competed as a club team its first year. The Lady Avengers will begin its first season of Region XV and national competition starting in the fall of 2009.
Head Coach, Adia Revell, will go into her second season of intercollegiate competition with a schedule that intends to challenge her team. In only its first year, the team will compete against a number of nationally ranked opponents and the toughest of local competition. In addition to winning games, the program's goal is to graduate players, so that they are able to continue to be successful at four-year institutions.
In only its first season of existence as a women’s basketball program, Coach Revell was able to lead the Lady Avengers to an 11-8 record and ASA’s first regular season championship in any of the department’s sports. The season was capped off by an appearance in the Region XV Division I championship game. Key wins for the Lady Avengers included three regular season wins over rival TCI and a win against Monroe College, which snapped a six-year, 59 game home win streak. For her efforts and her team’s efforts, Coach Revell garnered 2009-2010 Region XV Division I Coach of the Year Honors. In addition to her own individual accolades, Coach Revell recruited the 2009-10 Region XV Division I Player of the Year and Third Team NJCAA All-American, Denyse Moore. Joining Moore on the All-Region First Team was sophomore, Tyche’ Mozie. The Lady Avengers also had three freshmen on the All-Region Second Team with Leryncia Miller, Shanade Bernard, and Patrice Lewis all being honored.
Coach Revell joined the ASA Athletic Department as the first ever Head Women’s Basketball Coach. The Brooklyn, NY native is in her comfort zone with many years of experience on the New York City basketball scene. She has played for some of the city’s top AAU programs for girls. Most notably, under the guidance of Exodus AAU Coach Apache Paschal, she became the first female player from the club to receive a full-athletic Scholarship from a Division I University.
Coach Revell began her college basketball career at the University of Rhode Island, but the more academically-inclined Revell transferred to Barnard College of Columbia University, and finished off her collegiate basketball career playing in the Ivy League. While at the University of Rhode Island, she was on the Dean’s List, joined the Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society, and made the Atlantic-10 Student-Athlete Honor Roll. Revell graduated with a BA in Psychology from Barnard College of Columbia University. While at Columbia, Revell finished her senior season leading her team in rebounds, steals, while finishing 2nd in points (1 point from 1st) & assists. With the opportunity to play in Puerto Rico upon graduation, she passed on the opportunity to heal a stress fracture in her left leg that she suffered two months into her senior season.
Prior to ASA, Revell became the youngest board member for U WANT GAME, a non-profit organization dedicated to mentoring at-risk high school student athletes. She also worked part-time with the NY KNICKS as a camp basketball coach and field-marketing representative. Revell has also volunteered as a basketball coach and consultant for non-profit organizations such as her alma mater Exodus, New Heights, and the Jerry McCullough SEA Foundation
