Cyra Conwell brings gritty, efficient guard play to NIU
In the 2025-26 season, freshman guard Cyra Conwell gave Northern Illinois a spark as a compact, hard-nosed combo guard, appearing in 27 games with 4 starts and posting 1.8 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 0.4 steals per game while shooting 37.5% from the field and 58.8% at the line.[1][2] Her best trait is toughness: NIU notes she was a two-time all-conference high school player who averaged 10.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3.0 assists as a senior at Butler College Prep, and game coverage highlighted a perfect 4-for-4 shooting night with two threes in her first career start.[2][3]
