Fayetteville State's shooting guard Aniylah Bryant, a native of Havelock, NC, was named to the 2023-24 Division II Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA) All-Atlantic Region Women's Basketball Team.
 
The 2023-23 Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) Player of the Year averages 17.3 points per game while leading the conference with 122 steals on the defensive end. She leads Division II in steals per game.
 
One of her best performances of the season came in the conference semi-final game against Virginia State, scoring 31 points on a perfect 11-for-11 shooting with five three-pointers made. During the CIAA Tournament, Aniylah was named the Food Lion Game MVP for the Broncos quarterfinal and semifinal victories. She was also named Tournament Most Valuable Player after averaging 22.6 points over three games.
 
Bryant reached 1,000 career points in her three-season Fayetteville State career with a 17-point performance on February 8th against Johnson C. Smith and currently sits at 1,144 career points.
 
Throughout the regular season, Bryant earned a pair of CIAA Player of the Week Awards and a Defensive Player of the Week honor. She was twice named the BoxtoRow.com HBCU National Player of the Week.
 
Sports information directors from NCAA Division II Atlantic Region schools and conferences selected the two all-region teams. The process concludes with All-American selections announced later in the month. The Atlantic Region consists of all schools in the CIAA, MEC, and PSAC along with Salem, an independent.
 
The team is sponsored by the Division II Conference Commissioners Association, which encourages and promotes Division II athletics and high standards of sportsmanship as important elements of higher education. The CCA is a key communications link among the conferences as they discuss views, policies, and regulations that impact Division II intercollegiate athletics and works closely with the NCAA as a communications channel to NCAA Division II member colleges and universities.
