Santa Monica, CA

Santa Monica College Women's Basketball is proud to announce that Maya Stokes (Windward High graduate)  a sophomore on the 2024, 2025 team has reached a milestone in her career.

Stokes has scored 1000 points in her career, after scoring 22 points in a 52-51 win last night over College of the Canyons.  She is currently 6th in state in scoring (21.3 ppg) and was voted to the Western State All Conference First team last season. 

Head coach, Lydia Strong reacted to Maya's amazing accomplishment, "I am really proud of Maya.  She has been a mainstay in our program and is an amazing student athlete who leads our team. I thought last season when she scored 52 points in a game in the Pasadena City College tournament that she had a chance to reach this amazing milestone, but watching her pass 1000 points last night was really great to see.  For the past two years she has been our team Captain, has led us in scoring and assists and also excels in the classroom.  Maya has been on the Academic Dean's list three times here at Smc and has worked hard both on and off the court. She has obviously accomplished a lot at Santa Monica College and I can't wait to see what she does in the future."
