    S.F. native Shayna Mehta plays for joy - and for her culture

    Shayna Mehta has always found an unusual balance of peace and exhilaration on the basketball court.

    Quiet and reserved, the San Francisco native finds joy and creativity by expressing herself with “fancy dribbling moves, no-look passes, step-back threes and juking players,” she says.

    Mostly, the 2015 International graduate and current Brown University junior finds joy in “defying expectation and surprising people who don’t expect a 5-foot-7 desi (Indian decent) girl to play at this level.”

    Mehta isn’t only playing at the Division I level, but she’s excelling.

    She is averaging a team-best 18.
