Kiera Oakry joined the San Diego women’s basketball staff as a graduate assistant ahead of the 2026-27 season, returning to the program where she played from 2018 to 2023.
Oakry capped her Torero career as a redshirt senior in 2022-23, earning All-WCC Second Team and WCC All-Academic Team honors. She started all 33 games and led the team in minutes (1,017), points, scoring average, made 3-pointers, made free throws, free-throw percentage and assist-to-turnover ratio. Her 10.7 points per game were a career high, and she added 2.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game.
That season, she scored in double figures 19 times, including a season-high 18 points against Nevada on Dec. 4, 2022. She hit a season-best four 3-pointers to lead San Diego past Long Beach State in the first round of the WNIT on March 16, 2023. Her 125 made free throws ranked fifth on the program’s single-season list, and her 253 career made free throws ranked 10th in USD history.
Across four seasons on the court, Oakry played in 103 games with 65 starts. She appeared in 30 games with four starts as a freshman in 2018-19 before an injury sidelined her for the 2019-20 season. Back as a redshirt sophomore in 2020-21, she played in 12 games with one start and scored a season-high 10 points against San Diego Christian on Dec. 11, 2020. As a redshirt junior in 2021-22, she started 27 of 28 games and averaged 8.8 points in 24.6 minutes per game. She also led USD in 3-point percentage at 40.4 percent, fourth-best in the WCC.
A San Diego native, Oakry starred at La Jolla Country Day, where she captained the 2017-18 team, competed in the 2014-15 state championship and was a two-time All-America nominee. She was named MVP of the 2018 California All-Star Game and the 2016-17 La Jolla Country Day Christmas Tournament, and played club basketball for Wiggins Waves from 2014 to 2018.
