The second-leading scorer in Quaker women’s history with 1,806 career points, Alyssa Baron was the catalyst for a program turnaround during her four-year career. The season prior to her arrival at Penn, the Quakers went 2-26. By her senior year, the Quakers matched the then-school record with 22 wins en route to an Ivy League title and NCAA Tournament appearance.
 
A two-time First Team All-Ivy and Academic All-Ivy selection, Baron was the Ivy League Rookie of the Year in 2010-11 and the Ivy League Player of the Year in 2013-14. She was also a four-time First Team All-Big 5 pick and capped her Quaker career with a Philadelphia Big 5 Player of the Year nod in 2013-14.
 
Baron graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a bachelor’s degree in communication in 2014. Since then, the resurgent Quakers have won two more Ivy League titles in the last three years and Baron has embarked on a professional basketball career in Israel. She is in the midst of her fourth season in the Israeli Female Basketball Premier League, where she has competed for Ramat-Hasharon Electra and Maccabi Ramat Hen.
