Though she was introduced to club field hockey relatively late in the college recruiting cycle, Aliyah was able to field several Division I athletic scholarship offers. Ultimately, she chose Georgetown University for its prestigious academic reputation and opportunities to rebuild the hockey program. She was the first person in her high school's history to earn and accept an athletic scholarship. 

While on the Hilltop, Aliyah was a four-year starter and leader on the field. She was a three-time All BIG EAST team selection, making her the first player in program history to earn a spot on the First Team.
