York women’s basketball has a proud legacy, shaped by athletes who have left a distinctive mark on the team. This season, that legacy has been carried forward by a team that includes all-star player, Kiara Leveridge, a soon‑to‑be graduate of the Social Work program in the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies (LA&PS). Known not only for her accomplishments on the court but also for her thoughtful, critically engaged approach to her academic work, Leveridge embodies the values central to both her program and the York experience.
Leveridge’s dedication on and off the court has made her one of the most impactful players in York Lions history. As she closes out her final season with a milestone playoff victory and a remarkable list of achievements, her story reflects athletic excellence, resilience, leadership and deep community engagement. A huge congratulations from all of us at LA&PS!
