PSA player 1st

female to commit

to Div. 1 school

PUTNAM — The newly formed women’s basketball program at Putnam Science Academy made its first big splash Oct. 14, when Aislinn Flynn, a 6-foot, 1-inch post graduate from Long Island, N.Y., became the first female in the history of the school to commit to a Division 1 program in Towson University. 

Flynn, came to PSA after finishing her playing career at Long Island Lutheran, a national power house in girls basketball. Throughout her her career, she was recruited by a number of division 1 programs, but ultimately decided that Towson was the place for her. 

“After thinking everything over I decided to choose Towson because it felt like a perfect fit both on and off the court.” Flynn continued, “Coach Rich and the rest of the staff did a great job of showing me every aspect of Towson and I believe it’s a place where I can succeed athletically and in the classroom.”

Derek Marchione, head coach for the women’s team at PSA, also feels she made the right decision. “I think Aislinn made a terrific choice. The staff did a great job of making it known she was priority from the start. While some schools decided to wait, they knew what they saw in her and were confident in their evaluation. On top of that, Aislinn made history and will be remembered forever here at PSA.”
