Mt. Lebanon’s Ashleigh Connor, one of the WPIAL’s top rising juniors, announced her first Division I basketball offer Friday from Xavier.

The Musketeers offer came while Connor was competing at an AAU event in Indianapolis with the Western Pa. Bruins. A 5-foot-10 guard/forward, Connor averaged 22 points and six rebounds for Mt. Lebanon last season.

She was a member of the Trib 10 all-stars and earn all-state honors.

Xavier went 3-27 last season, 2-16 in the Big East under first-year coach Melanie Moore.

The team already has two former WPIAL players on the roster: Mars’ Lauren Wasylson and Winchester Thurston’s Ayanna Townsend.

I am so excited to receive and offer from @XavierWBB. Thank you @moore_mel @C_Finley @CoachLesterRowe pic.twitter.com/jEzdiIEIWa
