Bria Hartley has had an incredible run as one of the top female basketball players from Long Island in the history of the sport. Her blistering speed and precision shooting at North Babylon are still recently seared in people’s minds since she’s only 24.
A five-year starter for the Bulldogs, she finished her career with 1,978 points and was an All-American and New York State and Long Island Player of the Year.
It was on to the University of Connecticut where she would win back-to-back National Championships in 2013 and 2014 for the legendary program. She was Big East Rookie of the Year in 2011.
Hartley was drafted seventh overall by the Seattle Storm in 2014 and immediately traded to the Washington Mystics, where she played until this January when she was traded to her hometown New York Liberty.
