Tartamella on Vanderhoop: “We're thrilled to have Ariana join our program for the 2024-25 season. She brings a wealth of experience having played in over 100 college games and is a proven facilitator on the offensive end of the floor. Defensively, she can guard at a high-level and possesses a strong rebounding ability that will help us on the glass. Her toughness and work-ethic will fit in perfectly here at St. John's”
Personal: Daughter of Kenya Mays and Christopher Vanderhoop… Has two siblings Chris and Paulesha Vanderhoop… Pursuing a master’s degree in sports management… Chose St. John’s because of the play style and the team atmosphere… Favorite food is pasta… Favorite sports team is the Boston Celtics
