The route Cheyann Ashworth took into university basketball

Athlavia had no involvement with Cheyann Ashworth. 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 of 110 routes documented, covering 108 women. See all of them.
The route
Two stops: Two-year college, then NCAA Division II — from a two-year college to a four-year one. 6 of the 108 women documented here followed the same sequence of levels.
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 stops, as the sources record them
Printed as written. The drawing above compresses these; this list does not, because every caveat in the research lives inside these sentences.

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.
Two-year college
Portland Community College (Oregon)
Her sources place Portland Community College (Oregon) in the Northwest Athletic Conference rather than the NJCAA, so the NJCAA's divisions and their different rules on money do not apply to it.
We hold no researched record of that association’s own rules, so this page states nothing about what they permit.
NCAA Division II
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
From Adelaide, South Australia. Her pre-college club is not named in the sources we fetched.
What happened, in the sources’ account
Ashworth started her US college career at a community college in Oregon, playing in the NWAC and averaging 7.0 points and 6.2 rebounds over 37 career games; her sophomore year was cut to nine games by injury. Alaska Anchorage announced her in August 2025 as a junior transfer, and she is listed on the Seawolves roster again for 2026–27 as a senior. Alaska Anchorage women's basketball competes in NCAA Division II in the GNAC.
What is known about money
Athletic scholarships are permitted at NCAA Division II, where she played. That is a fact about the rulebook, not about her.
Her sources place Portland Community College (Oregon) in the Northwest Athletic Conference rather than the NJCAA, so the NJCAA's divisions and their different rules on money do not apply to it.
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.
The Alaska Anchorage announcement we read contains no scholarship language at all — it describes her as a transfer and gives her statistics. No financial term should be attached to her.
What happened since
as our sources stood when they were read
Still an active college player on the 2026–27 Alaska Anchorage roster. Nothing published yet about a professional or post-college outcome.
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.
Modest numbers, a community college, an injury year, and a Division II finish — and it is a genuine, currently documented US college basketball career. This is the shape most Australian families should actually plan for. It also shows the community-college route being used the way it is designed to be used: two years to establish a record, then a four-year school for the degree.
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 is still unknown
- Her exact start year at Portland Community College is not stated anywhere we fetched. Say 'two seasons at Portland CC before transferring in 2025' rather than giving dates.
- The GNAC affiliation and NCAA Division II status are confirmed from a Wikipedia article on the Seawolves, not from the athletics site text; the athletics pages show only the GNAC logo.
- She is a current student athlete. Keep the entry to her published sporting record and nothing else.
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 Cheyann Ashworth. 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 Cheyann Ashworth, 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.
