Khamya McNeal, a former standout guard for George Mason’s women’s basketball team, has transitioned from player to graduate assistant, the university announced this week.
During the 2024‑25 campaign, McNeal was instrumental in the Patriots’ first Atlantic 10 title and their inaugural NCAA Tournament berth, contributing 2.3 points across 26 appearances while embodying the team’s relentless spirit.
Her journey to this role began in Milwaukee, where she excelled at the high school level, leading her squad to back‑to‑back conference championships and earning multiple accolades that hinted at her collegiate potential.
From Court to Coaching Bench
After stints at Stetson and Syracuse, where she posted a 9.2‑point average as a senior at Stetson, McNeal returns to the Fairfax campus to help shape the next generation, focusing on day‑to‑day operations, player development and scouting.
In her new capacity, McNeal will work closely with head coach Vanessa Blair‑Lewis, bringing a player‑first perspective to practice sessions and game preparation.
The move reflects George Mason’s commitment to continuity, leveraging an alumna who has experienced the program’s rise from the sidelines to the national stage.
