STONY BROOK, N.Y. – Stony Brook women's basketball and head coach Caroline McCombs announced the signing of guard Anastasia Warren on Thursday morning.
 
Warren – a proven winner on the court and in the classroom – will join the Seawolves' program as a freshman in 2018-19. She will join guard Courtney Furr and guard/forward LaNiya Miller as Stony Brook's newcomers for the 2018-19 season.
 
Anastasia Warren – Combo Guard | 5-8 | Atlanta, GA
Warren is a four-year letter winner under head coach Hilda Hankerson, scoring over 1,000 points in her time at Westlake High School. The combo guard made an impact on the court in many different areas during her senior season in 2017-18, recording 11.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.2 steals per game.
 
Warren shot 50.8 percent from the floor as a senior, tallying a team-high 362 points in 31 games played. She helped lead Westlake High School to a 30-2 overall record in 2018, and the program's first-ever state championship. Both of Westlake's losses during the season came against nationally-ranked opponents, as the school went unbeaten in the state of Georgia. Westlake also participated in the GEICO Nationals, an invite-only tournament at the end of the season designed to allow top-ranked high school basketball programs to compete against one another. Warren played her travel basketball with Team Elite/Georgia Pearls under head coach Dwayne Hansberry.
 
She earned All-Region Honorable Mention status as a sophomore in 2015-16, was named to the All-Region Second Team in 2016-17 as a junior, and earned All-Region First Team honors as a senior in 2017-18. Warren was named Westlake Miss Basketball in 2017, earned Westlake Postseason MVP in 2018, and was named Peach State Classic 2018 MVP for her performance.
 
The Atlanta-native is the daughter of August Eugene Warren III and Stacy Dancy. She has one brother, Isaiah, and two sisters, Anais and Anascensia. Warren – who earned a spot on the Westlake High School honor roll in each of the last three years – plans to pursue Health Science studies at Stony Brook.
 
 
Caroline McCombs on Warren: "We're excited that Annie has chosen to be a part of our Seawolves family at Stony Brook. Annie is a high character young lady who is ultra-competitive both in the classroom and on the basketball court. She brings us versatility at the guard position and will impact the game on both ends of the floor. We can't wait for her to get on campus this summer."
 
Anastasia Warren on choosing Stony Brook: "I chose Stony Brook because it felt like home. It has a top health science program with a hospital on campus, and the people here treat you like family. Stony Brook gives you a big Division I campus feel in a small setting, and it provides me with everything I want in both basketball and life. I'm excited to become a member of the Seawolves' family!"
