April 01, 2025 | Women's Basketball
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - East Carolina women's basketball's Synia Johnson has been selected to participate in the NCAA's Above the Rim Summit, taking place Final Four weekend in Tampa, Fla.
The NCAA's third annual Above the Rim Summit welcomes Division I women's basketball players to Tampa for the weekend for personal and professional programming. The event, held by NCAA Leadership Development, aims to prepare high-level women's basketball players who've exhausted their college eligibility for potential professional opportunities in the WNBA and abroad, life beyond playing the game and various careers in athletics.
The theme for the 2025 summit, presented by Invesco QQQ, is: The gardens you'll grow.
Johnson was a multi-time team captain for the Pirates who is perhaps most known for being named the 2023 American Athletic Conference Tournament Most Outstanding Player as she led the Pirates to their first league title and NCAA Tournament berth in 16 years. Native of Waldorf, Md., Johnson finished her playing career with 609 points, 339 rebounds, 197 assists and 181 steals over 112 games while making 66 starts.
