Aaliyah Covington Joins Women’s Basketball Staff

Comes to Milwaukee after successful playing career at Saint Louis

MILWAUKEE – Kyle Rechlicz has announced the addition of Aaliyah Covington as a graduate manager and video analyst to the Milwaukee women's basketball staff.

"I'm very excited to have Aaliyah join our staff," Rechlicz said. "She has clearly demonstrated a strong work ethic and a drive to help others. She clearly comes from a very strong family tree and we're thrilled to have her working with us this coming season."

Covington comes to Milwaukee after a successful four-year playing career at mid-major power Saint Louis. She helped the Billikens to three-straight postseason appearances each of her final three seasons, playing in the Postseason WNIT all three seasons and advancing to the third round her sophomore year. In all, she helped SLU to 83 total wins over her time, and she graduates as one of the top free-throw shooters in program history after connecting on 77.3 percent of her attempts from the charity stripe.

Off the court, Covington has an impressive amount of experience in working with others. She recently finished up an internship at the VA Medical Center in St. Louis, while also working as a graduate assistant for social work admissions at SLU. During her time as an undergraduate, she also helped out with a number of non-profit organizations and peer-mentor groups. With basketball, Covington worked with summer camps all four years with the Billikens.

Covington – the younger sister of current Panther assistant coach Anya Covington – graduated with a Master's Degree in Social Work from Saint Louis.
