UNBC’s hoops squad lands dynamic guard

“I am super excited to be competing at the U SPORTS level. All the hard work has finally paid off. All the extra hours in the gym, challenging myself in different ways and continuing to evolve as a player. It has been nice to have this long-term goal fulfilled, and I am excited to see what happens next.”

Tupas-Singh stands five-foot-six and has the ability to affect the game at every level on the court, and that’s in large part to her diverse athleticism. She grew up as a multi-sport athlete, competing in basketball, volleyball, and soccer. On the pitch, she has played Vancouver Island Premier League, while also competing and medaling in the BC Summer Games in both basketball and volleyball.

With the ability to play point guard and shooting guard, Tupas-Singh plays with fluidity and the ability to get her own shot or create for others. At Pacific Christian Secondary School, she averaged 25 points, ten rebounds, five assists, and five steals per game, while also converting on more than four 3-pointers per game at a 42% rate.

“It made a ton of sense for us to add a player and person of Adaiah’s quality to our program,” said Coach Shchepotkin in a release issued by the school’s athletic department. “She plays the game with pace at both ends, and I am impressed by her instincts. Plus, she is a leader and carries herself with maturity and focus. I am excited to see her develop in her time here, and I believe she can be a real contributor at the university level. It is an exciting day for us.”

With a trophy case full of awards and honours at the high school level, Tupas-Singh will graduate from PCSS in June before joining her new teammates in August for training camp.
