Sahuaro senior forward Alyssa Brown announced her commitment to play for UNLV earlier today.

Brown (6-1) earned 2019 Arizona Gatorade Player of the Year honors after scoring an Arizona single-season scoring record of 932 points to help lead Sahuaro to the 4A state championship game and a 28-2 record.

"I've been playing basketball since I was four years old and playing college ball has always been a dream for me," Brown said. "I'm proud to announce I will be continuing my academic and athletic career at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas!"

Brown averages 23.8 points a game with 8.4 rebounds and she poured in 31.1 points an outing last year which will push her up the career scoring list for Arizona this winter. She is currently 25th on that list with 2,094 career points.

Brown also had offers from Colorado, Houston, UTEP, UNLV, UC Riverside, UC Santa Barbara, Grand Canyon, NAU, Elon, St. John’s, Bethune-Cookman, Long Island U., Hampton and Maryland-Baltimore County. She also had interest from Princeton, Pepperdine, New Mexico, Nevada, Washington State and TCU.
