She charted 6.7 points per game at a 36.1% clip and 3.3 rebounds per game. Alizada converted 92.2% of her free throws at SPC before falling in the Second Round of the 2024-25 National Junior College Athletics Association DI Women's Basketball Championship.
The Montreal, Canada native is the daughter of Freshta Sekhandary and Salahuddin Alizada, and has two brothers, Sihail and Sujad. Additionally, at UTSA, she will study business.
Head Coach Karen Aston on Alizada:
“We are excited to welcome Saher to the Roadrunner family. At this point in the year, you are looking for specific pieces of a puzzle and she fits that perfectly for our program. Our staff knew we needed to bolster our three-point shooting and Saher has a shoot first mentality and will be a key piece as we move forward. She had a terrific season at South Plains in making it to the national tournament and I love the fact that she comes from a winning culture and mentality. I am excited to see how Saher grows and develops here as a student-athlete.”’
Alizada joins a 2024-25 recurring class at UTSA that includes Ereauna Hardaway, Jayda Holiman, Sema Udo, Sanaa Bean, and Adriana Robles.
