‘You’re going home’: Brianna Sanders’ basketball road brought her to Xavier, and back home

08.07.23

CINCINNATI - Last year, Brianna Sanders had just finished her fourth season as an Assistant Coach at the University of Akron when Billi Chambers called and offered her a job at Iona University.

"I was in New York for eight months and then she said, 'Let's go, you're going home,'" said Sanders, who barely had time to unpack and get situated in her New York apartment before starting the process all over again.

Sanders was born and raised in Cincinnati. She grew up here — a star basketball player at Princeton High School, where she graduated in 2009.
