Mary Ashley Stevenson feels right back at home in Columbia’s tournament chase

Maybe there’s some truth to the old proverb that all roads lead back to Rome. 

In Mary Ashley Stevenson’s case, though, Rome is the Big Apple. 

Stevenson’s basketball journey took her through two prominent basketball programs, across different conferences and time zones. Her stops — one year at Purdue and two at Stanford — helped shape her into the person and player she is now. 

But as she enters her senior season and first year at Columbia, Stevenson finds herself exactly where she was always supposed to be: home.
