Prairie View A&M University Athletics

Aryana Cruz is a sophomore from Angleton, Texas, who plays outfield for Prairie View A&M. She wears jersey number 9 and is pursuing a Kinesiology major. Aryana graduated from Angleton High School.

The biggest lesson softball has taught Aryana is to never let anyone tell her she can't do something. Her favorite all-time movie is Suicide Squad, and her favorite entertainer is Kevin Hart. She enjoys pasta or tacos and loves spending time with her family during Christmas, exchanging gifts. Aryana’s hobbies include walking and playing with her dog.

One of her most memorable moments in softball was playing in the World Series championship on ESPN fields. In five years, Aryana hopes to graduate with her PhD and pursue her dream job as a Physical Therapist. She chose Prairie View A&M because she feels comfortable here and enjoys the fun atmosphere with her friends.
