THE SKY’S THE LIMIT■ 49 Why did you choose your number...I chose it in middle school and for AAU. I just thought it would be a great number and it has stuck with ASHLEIGH me ever since. What is your favorite thing about Pitt and the city of Pittsburgh...My favorite thing about the city of Pittsburgh is the Cathedral of Learning. It BRAXTON is just a quiet, peaceful and historical place that I enjoy to relax at and to have classes at. 5-10 ■ SO. ■ GUARD ■ What is your pregame ritual...I do not have a WOODBRIDGE, VA. FOREST PARK special pregame ritual. I just blast my music and once I get on the court for warm up I get a piece of gum. 20 Why did you choose to come to Pitt...I chose Pitt because I knew the team was going places and I absolutely love the campus. What is the best advice you have received... Blood is thicker than water; your family will always have your back through everything. My personality is reflected in what type of sky... Why...A cloudy sky because it has something quiet & mysterious about it. There could be the sun or a storm waiting for you! If you could be any TV character, who would you be and why...I would be Pebbles from the Flintstones. I wake up every morning with her hairstyle. What is your favorite place you have traveled... Why...I loved traveling to Arizona my senior year in high school. We played the top teams in the nation and most of the schools invited were private, and we were a public school. My parents were able to travel with us. From the Pitt women’s basketball staff, you are the most like who... Why... I think I am most like Mark (Rhodehamel). We are really chill, smart, funny, awesome people who you should definitely meet. We are cute too!

GETTING TO KNOW ASHLEIGH BRAXTON Who has had the biggest impact on your basketball career and why...My Dad. He first introduced me to the game and worked with me my whole life on playing this game. He also created my sweet jump shot! What can you do to help Pitt build on last season’s success...I can continue to grow and develop as a player. I will get my shot back to being consistent and be a big force as a passer to the post and a major threat from behind the arc. What are your personal/team goals for the season...My personal goals are to help the team in any way and to be a threat behind the arc. My team goals are a Big East Championship and Tampa.

THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH

THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH CAMPUS IS A PLACE OF DELIGHTFUL CONTRASTS: UNABASHEDLY URBAN, YET DOTTED WITH GARDENS AND TREES. SITUATED ON THE EDGE OF 456-ACRE WOODED SCHENLEY PARK, THE CAMPUS WEAVES IN AND OUT OF AN EXCITING SECTION OF CITY KNOWN AS OAKLAND. PITTSBURGH’S CULTURAL AND MEDICAL CENTER, OAKLAND IS HOME TO THE UNIVERSITY’S 132-ACRE MAIN CAMPUS THAT INCLUDES MORE THAN 90 ACADEMIC, RESEARCH, AND ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDINGS AND RESIDENCE HALLS.

The University of Pittsburgh traces its roots to the chartering of the Pittsburgh Academy in 1787, when founder Hugh Henry Brackenridge hoped the school—then only a single log cabin—would serve as a “candle lite in the forested wilderness.” Two hundred twenty years later, the University of Pittsburgh has evolved in extraordinary ways. Chancellor Mark A. Nordenberg oversees a Pittsburgh campus of 16 undergraduate, graduate, and professional schools—as well as four regional campuses—all committed to enhancing the human experience through the power of education. “A community of intellectuals is, by definition, committed to the power of the mind and is bound together by its interest in ideas. Certainly, that is one important dimension of life at Pitt,” says Nordenberg. “But a university also should be an institution with a heart—an institution that values nothing more than the potential that exists within its people.”
