NEWARK, NJ — NJIT women's basketball head coach Mike Lane announced the addition of 6-foot-3 forward Marina Bravo, who will join the Highlanders for the 2026-27 season.

Bravo becomes the third member of NJIT's 2026-27 recruiting class, joining guards Kate Donovan and Carly Sweazie, who signed National Letters of Intent with the Highlanders in November 2025.

"I am very excited about adding Marina to our roster," said Lane. "She is a big presence on both sides of the floor. On the defensive end, she protects the rim and alters shots in the paint with her size, length and IQ and on the offensive end her shooting touch, passing and screening will fit in nicely with our style of play."

A native of Madrid, Spain, Bravo attended Archbishop Riordan High School in San Francisco, California and played for Bay City Basketball, where she developed into a versatile player with the size, skill, and international experience to make an impact at the collegiate level.

Bravo helped lead her team to a Madrid regional championship. She earned tournament Most Valuable Player honors during the championship run and served as team captain, showcasing both her leadership abilities and competitive drive.

She plans to major in business and marketing at NJIT.

The Highlanders continue to build toward the future with a recruiting class that combines talent, leadership, and international experience as the program prepares for the 2026-27 season.
