INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (July 13, 2023) – Keishana Washington is one of five standout CAA student-athletes that have been selected as institutional nominees for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award.

In addition, Washington was a three-year SAAC representative for Drexel and participated in multiple community service initiatives in the Philadelphia area. On the court, Washington earned CAA Player of the Year accolades in 2022-23 and back-to-back First Team All-Conference honors. The Pickering, Ontario native also concluded her career with All-America honorable mention and Second Team Academic All-America status. Washington is second all-time in Drexel program history in career points (2,363) and fourth in league history.
