Editor's Note: This story ran on TheUndefeated.com on November 18, 2018 in a feature on Faith and Sports. College basketball star Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir was faced with a choice: faith or sports. Faith won. Abdul-Qaadir, now 28, played her entire high school and college career in a hijab. She wore tights under her shorts and a long-sleeved shirt under her jersey. Her face and neck were exposed, but her hair was covered. She didn't make the WNBA in 2014, so she sought to play overseas and possibly work her way into the league.
