LYNCHBURG, Va. – Peace Ashina, a talented athlete from Georgia, has signed with the Liberty women's basketball team for the 2026-27 academic year.

Peace Ashina (G, 6-0, Snellville, Ga.)
A senior at South Gwinnett High School, Ashina has averaged a double-double and earned first team all-league recognition each of the past two seasons.
Ashina went for 15.4 ppg and 10.0 rpg as a sophomore before exploding for 24.5 ppg and 10.2 rpg last season.
"I knew as soon as I set foot in Virginia that this was going to be the school for me," stated Ashina. "I felt great, warm comfort from the team and coaches. Additionally, the campus life, resources and tools Liberty has can support me into the goals and plans I have for my life."
