Sarah Halejian, the player of the Bulldogs, a Yale basketball team, received her fourth consecutive, and fifth total, Ivy League Rookie of the Week award.
Besides, Halejian may join the Armenian national basketball team this summer, Yale Daily News reported.
“I would always be out on the driveway playing basketball,” Halejian said. “It made me tougher. I got used to playing physically.”
By the time she reached high school, Halejian lead Ramapo High School in Franklin Lakes, N.J., in points, steals and assists each season and was a two-time New Jersey Player of the Year.
Halejian has a strong family fan base watching her success. And because of her Armenian heritage and talent, Halejian may have an opportunity to represent Armenian on its national basketball team this summer.
Hrachya Rostomyan, president of the Basketball Federation of Armenia, is “hopeful” that Halejian can join the team in summer. He called her potential impact “invaluable to Armenia.”
