What tactful options do I have to get to know a random girl?

Apologies if the question is vague. The situation...

I want to meet a girl that I have seen repeatedly in public. I have her social media, but we are not friends/connected. 99% sure she has no idea who I am. I feel it might NOT be a good idea to randomly message her on social media... she could take me for a creeper or weirdo. I actually tried it another time for two different girls and it failed... miserably, ha ha.

I'm guessing, get to know her friends, then I could meet her easier?

Walk up to her in public next time and start a conversation?

She is a senior in college this coming academic year and plays on one of the sports teams. I'm a graduate student. So we do have the school connection... maybe attend one of her games and chat her up after? I was thinking if they do the autographs after the game that might be a good opportunity.

Thoughts/Feedback?

Thank you! :-)
