FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The Nova Southeastern Sharks Women’s Basketball team continues to retool for the upcoming 2022-23 season by adding Kyannah Grant (Navajo/Mississippi Choctaw), a graduate transfer from Tennessee-Martin, announces Head Coach LeAnn Freeland-Curry.

“Kyannah is an exceptionally skilled point guard with a high-motor that impacts both ends of the court. She pushes the tempo on offense, is a solid distributor, and a three-point maker. Defensively, she is a tenacious on-ball defender who understands positioning well,” said Freeland-Curry. “Because of her high basketball IQ, coachability, positive attitude and high-efficiency scoring ability, she is a perfect fit for our system. Our coaching staff and players are excited to announce Kyannah Grant is a Shark.”
