Take me home, country roads #committed
Bordas left an indelible mark on Wheeling Park High School and West Virginia high school basketball. She finished her prep career as the Patriots’ all-time leading scorer with 2,606 points and set the Ohio Valley record with 367 career three-pointers. She led Wheeling Park to its first state championship since 1999 in 2024, earning tournament MVP honors in the process.
Her trophy case is stacked: three Mary Ostrowski Awards (West Virginia Player of the Year), three Gatorade West Virginia Player of the Year honors, and multiple All-State selections. As a senior, she averaged 33.1 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.0 steals, and 2.0 assists per game while leading the Patriots to the Region 1 AAAA final.
Bordas began her college career at Duquesne, where she made an immediate impact. As a freshman in the 2025-26 season, she started 20 games, averaged 34.7 minutes per contest, and put up 15.9 points per game. She drained 90 three-pointers at a 33.9% clip and earned Atlantic 10 All-Rookie Team honors.
