Aniyah Anderson is this week's Santa Fe Saints UF Health Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine Tuesday Teammate of the Week!

Anderson enters her second year with Santa Fe Basketball after a solid 2024-25 season. The 5'9" guard/forward is from Mobile, Alabama and played at Murphy High School.

Anderson has been a clear leader for Santa Fe Women's Basketball both on and off the court and is one of just three returning players on David Lowery's first Saints squad. She has played an integral role in helping new players ease their transition to Santa Fe as well as being a leader in practice and all other team activities.

Anderson is majoring in dermatology and was a second team All-Citrus Conference player last season. In 2024-25, she started in 27/28 games and averaged 8.8 points and 2.0 steals off 36.4% shooting from the floor. She was also named 2024-25 All-Saints Academic Team and 2024-25 FCSAA All-Academic.

UF Health Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine sponsors a "Teammate of the Week" selection from all five Santa Fe Saints sports teams.  The Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC), the SF sport specific coaches, and the athletic director nominate deserving Saints for this weekly award.  Teammates of the week will embody the character qualities the SAINTS (Seek, Aware, Integrity, Noble-Minded, Thankful, and Safe) emphasize and value.  SF Student-Athletes who impact their team, community, classmates, and families for the better are the best candidates for this weekly award hosted by proud SF partner UF Health Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine.
