“We’re thrilled to welcome Brie back to EKU,” said EKU head women's basketball coach Greg Todd. “Her strong work ethic and ability to connect with players left a lasting mark on our program. She’s bringing back valuable experience from Army’s outstanding season, which included 25 wins and a WNIT victory. Brie’s energy and leadership will be a difference-maker for us.”
With West Point, Wajer played a key role in the Black Knights’ 25-win season and runner-up finish in the Patriot League Women’s Basketball Tournament. The team went on to capture its first-ever national postseason victory, edging Bryant 59–58 in the opening round of the 2025 Women’s National Invitation Tournament (WNIT).
