Athlavia had no involvement with Amanda Zahui B.. She has not used this product, is not connected to it and has not endorsed it. Everything on this page about her is drawn from the published sources listed at the foot, and cited so you can read the originals. The sentences about what an association’s rules permit are ours; they are statements about a rulebook, they are marked as such where they appear, and they are not about her.
No photograph. Roster images belong to the universities and photographers who made them.
One page, on one site. Everything on this page rests on it. The only site is Wikipedia — an encyclopaedia, not a primary record.
One of 110 routes documented, covering 108 women. See all of them.
The route
One institution on the record: University of Minnesota, NCAA Division I. 74 of the 110 routes documented here include a stop on that row. The rows above and below are the frame of reference, not places she was.
Left to right is the order the sources place her stops in. It is not a time axis: 54 of the 181 stops recorded across this site carry a bare pair of dates and the rest are prose, so the years are printed as written, in the list below.
The rows are the NCAA’s own three divisions, plus two dashed rows for everything outside them. NAIA and U SPORTS are separate associations rather than a lower NCAA tier, and nothing in these records ranks them against it; the two-year colleges sit at the foot because a junior college is an institution players transfer on from, which the records do say. The shaded bar behind each row is how many of the 110 routes documented here include a stop at that level.
The institution on the record
Printed as written. The drawing above compresses these; this list does not, because every caveat in the research lives inside these sentences.
- 1
University of Minnesota
NCAA DINCAA Division I
Big Ten
Joined in 2012 and redshirted 2012-13; played 2013-14 and 2014-15
What these levels are, and what money can exist at them
These are facts about rulebooks. They apply to everyone at that level, and none of them is a statement about her.
NCAA Division I
This association permits athletic scholarships. Whether any particular player received one, and how much of one, is not published.
Where she was before she left
Born in Stockholm in 1993. Attended Igelstavikens Gymnasium in Soedertaelje and played three seasons in the Damligan for Telge Basket between 2009 and 2012. Her honours list two Damligan championships, 2011 and 2012.
What happened, in the sources’ account
Zahui B. went from Telge Basket and a Soedertaelje gymnasium to Minnesota, redshirted her first year, then was Big Ten Freshman of the Year in 2014 averaging 15.1 points and 11.6 rebounds. As a sophomore she averaged 18.8 points and 12.9 rebounds, and in February 2015 scored a career-high 39 points against Iowa with 29 rebounds, the most ever by a player in the Big Ten Conference. She left after two playing seasons and was drafted second overall in the 2015 WNBA draft.
What is known about money
Athletic scholarships are permitted at every level on this route. That is a fact about the rulebook, not about her.
No source we fetched states what she received, if anything.
6 of the 110 routes documented here have a source stating any financial term at all. The other 104 do not, and that is normal rather than a gap in the research: a university announces a signing as a roster addition, and what a player was offered stays between her and the programme. Read silence as silence.
No source states anything about money.
Copied without editing. Like the checking notes further down, some of these sentences are instructions to the person writing this page rather than statements about her.
No source we fetched states any scholarship, aid amount, percentage or financial term for her.
What happened since
Drafted second overall by the Tulsa Shock in 2015. WNBA career including New York Liberty (2016-2020), Los Angeles Sparks (2021), and Washington Mystics and Indiana Fever (2023), plus club basketball in Europe and Australia, including Townsville Fire (2023-24), BC Castelnuovo Scrivia (2025) and BK Zabiny Brno (2025 onwards).
No retrieval date is stored against these sources, so treat anything time-sensitive — a current club, a current roster — as needing a fresh check.
Athlavia’s note on this route
Everything above is drawn from the sources. This is our editorial judgement about why the route is worth showing, and it is the only opinion on this page.
Included for recognition, and to be honest about what it cost: she left after two playing seasons and did not finish her degree there. Families should read her as the exception that proves the rule, not the template. The realistic examples on this list are the other six.
That note was written for the whole collection rather than for this page. Where it points at other examples — junior-college routes, Division II routes — it means the 108 routes documented here, not anything on this page; where it says what the page should do, it is addressing whoever writes it.
She is an outlier. Read her next to the junior-college and Division II routes rather than as the benchmark.
This set has not been through the balancing pass, so it may over-represent Division I.
What we could not confirm
These are the checking pass’s own notes, copied without editing. They address the person writing this page, which is why some are phrased as instructions. They are published because a list of what we removed is worth more than an assurance that we checked.
What the second pass removed or corrected
- VERIFIED: the cited URL loads and supports the birth details, Igelstavikens Gymnasium, the Telge Basket seasons and Damligan titles, the Minnesota redshirt and two playing seasons, the Big Ten Freshman of the Year award, both scoring averages, the Iowa game and the 2015 draft.
- REMOVED as unsupported: the previous draft's claims that she finished fourth nationally in rebounding and took Minnesota to its first NCAA tournament since 2009 are not stated anywhere in the fetched source. Do not print them.
What is still unknown
- Single-source and that source is Wikipedia, not a primary roster page or news report. Supporting detail attributed to ESPN and the University of Minnesota in the previous draft came from search-result summaries that were never opened.
- She is a superstar outcome. If she is used at all, the copy must not imply her result is a normal one, and must not imply she endorses or is associated with anything.
Researcher’s own rating: 90 out of 100. This is the checking agent’s self-assessment, not a measurement. Across the 110 records it runs from 62 to 93, so the source count above it tells you more.

Athlavia had no involvement with Amanda Zahui B.. We did not advise, represent or place her, and we do not know her.
This page describes a public sporting record: where she played, at what level, and what published sources say about that. It carries no photograph, no date of birth and no contact details, and we do not report anything about her health beyond what her own sources state and what the route requires.
If you are Amanda Zahui B., or represent her, and want anything here corrected or this page removed, write to support@athlavia.com and we will act on it.
This set has not been through the balancing pass, so it may over-represent Division I.
110 routes, 44 countries, 32 through a junior or community college, 36 never played NCAA Division I — so you can see whether this record is typical of the set or unusual within it.
