Former Lady Roadrunner Brewer Leaving Mark In Pros Overseas

Former State Fair Community College (SFCC) Lady Roadrunners basketball standout Maya Brewer is playing professionally in Engomi,

Cyprus for ETHA Engomis in Cypriot Division A. Brewer was named the Player of the Week when she posted a double-double with 33 points and 12 rebounds in round five.

Brewer has played in every game her rookie season, averaging a team-high 24.7 points and 10 rebounds per game. Brewer is shooting 80.4 percent of her free-throw attempts.
While at SFCC, the Kansas City, Missouri native was named to the All-Region 16 Second-Team as a freshman in 2017.

She followed that up earning All-Region 16 First-Team honors as a sophomore. As a Lady Roadrunner, Brewer was a two-time Second-Team All-Conference selection in the Missouri Community College Athletic Conference.

“Maya knew from day one that she wanted to play professionally,” said Lady Roadrunners Head Coach Kevin Bucher. “She worked extremely hard after graduating from Wichita State. I almost cried when I found out that she accomplished her goal to play overseas. I will always remember the last second three-point shot that Maya hit against Moberly."

After finishing career at SFCC, Brewer play two years at Wichita State University in Wichita, Kansas. As a junior, Brewer appeared in 23 games making three starts. Brewer was a member of the American Athletic Conference All-Academic Team and the Wichita State Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. Brewer appeared in all 31 games as a senior making five starts and finishing tied for third on the team with 21 three-point baskets.

“I never had a player who wanted to do so well for her coach,” said Bucher. “Maya will always have a special place in my heart. Maya really wanted to do well academically and athletically and have an opportunity to further career after she graduated from State Fair. She did that at Wichita State. We try to keep in touch once a month and now she’s living her dream like she always wanted to."
