🎙 NEW SIC ‘EM POD: SARAH ANDREWS

Every great team needs a leader, and that’s what Sarah Andrews is for Baylor Women’s Basketball. And she’s one of the best in the country, evidenced by this week’s newest honor for the veteran guard.

From the time she was just 4-years-old, to being a top high school recruit in the country, Sarah Andrews has never been afraid of the competition on the court. 

Now, in her senior season, Sarah couldn’t be more focused on the task at hand. Sarah Andrews is a winner, a leader, one of the most dangerous scorers in the country, and is the engine that makes Baylor Women’s Basketball go.
