AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn’s DeYona Gaston will participate in the 2025 Lilly Women’s College All-Star Game on Saturday, April 5, in Tampa, Florida.

She will join other seniors from across the country in the nationally televised contest on ESPN2. Tip is set for 2 p.m. at Hillsborough Community College-Mabry Campus in Tampa.

Gaston averaged 22.3 points to lead Auburn this season, setting a program record for the highest single-season scoring average in Auburn history. She finished her lone season on the Plains with 646 points, the third-most in program history in a single season. She was the Tigers’ leading scorer in 23 of 30 games and had four contests with at least 30 points.

The Lilly Women’s College All-Star Game will provide 20 of the country’s brightest stars one final opportunity to represent their programs and be recognized against the backdrop of the sport’s championship weekend. Intersport, an award-winning Chicago-based agency that first launched a national women’s college basketball all-star event alongside the WBCA 25 years ago, will host the event.

Tickets for the Lilly Women’s College All-Star Game are on sale now and can be purchased by visiting the event’s website at www.womenscollegeallstar.com. 

Gaston will suit up for either Team Lieberman or Team Miller, which will be coached by Naismith Hall of Famers and basketball legends Nancy Lieberman and Cheryl Miller, respectively. The complete rosters for Team Lieberman and Team Miller will be announced later this week, while individual player commitments are being announced on a rolling basis.

Gaston is the second Auburn player in as many years to play in the Women’s College All-Star Game, joining Honesty Scott-Grayson, who played in last year’s edition in Cleveland.
