JAMAICA, NY --- (www.YORKATHLETICS.com) York College women's basketball head coach Anastasia Bitis announced Friday the celebratory signing of incoming point guard Bri'Anna Jones for the 2020-21 season. Jones is a 5-foot-2 native of Brooklyn who joins the Cardinals from Nassau Community College. 

"I felt that York is a great fit because of my major and the extremely welcoming environment.  I look forward to sharing memories and building connections that will allow me to grow" – Bri'Anna Jones

 Jones, who played four years of varsity basketball at Amityville Memorial High School, will major in physical education at York. 

"Bri'Anna is a dynamic guard who will add much needed experience and scoring for us at the guard spot.  We are excited for her leadership qualities and maturity both on and off the court" – Anastasia Bitis

 At NCC, Jones averaged 13.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 29 games played during the 2018-19 season.  Jones, a 2019 NJCAA All-Region XV second-team selection, led the Lions to a 25-6 season to advance to the NJCAA Region XV Tournament.

York returned to the postseason for the first time since 2015-16 and advanced to the CUNYAC semifinals in a season that saw the Cardinals register the program's highest win total (11) since the 2009-10 campaign.  The Cardinals are led by returning center Mac-Dege Dessources, who was named a CUNYAC second-team All-Star following a sophomore campaign that saw her rank third in the nation in rebounds per game (13.4) and 16th in double-doubles (16).
