Aniya Walker | 6-2 | G | Ambridge High School | Ambridge, Pa.
Walker comes to Western Michigan from Ambridge, Pa., just outside of Pittsburgh, Pa. The 6-2 guard has been ranked among the top 50 by the city of Pittsburgh and top 20 by Beaver County her sophomore, junior, and senior seasons and is a Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League (WPIAL) top 10 leading scorer. Walker has led Ambridge in rebounds for three seasons, is a two-time Beaver County Athlete of the Week, and has been named to a pair of All-Tournament Teams. In addition, she was invited to play in the USA Junior Olympics 3-on-3 Tournament at the Olympic Training Center. Aniya is a four-year honor roll student at Ambridge High School and is also a member of the National Honor Society.

Clipfell:
"We are very happy to have Aniya and her family officially become part of ours. She is an extremely versatile player who is going to give us some much needed length added to our roster. She possesses a very unique skill set for a 6-2 player and we believe she will end up playing multiple positions. We were really seeking to add players who would give us both size and speed and she certainly fills those categories and much more."

Walker joins Ashley Konkle, Sydney Shafer, and Taylor Williams, who signed NLI's during the early signing period in November. All four will be eligible to compete for the Brown & Gold starting in the 2019-20 season.
