Ivy Bales is American’s do-everything guard with defensive bite
Ivy Bales is the kind of guard coaches love: tough, versatile, and reliable on both ends. In the 2024-25 season, she scored 162 points, led American in steals with 30, and finished second on the team in rebounds (136) and assists (75), showing uncommon all-around impact from the perimeter[1]. She also owns major program milestones, including 606 career assists and top-10 all-time marks at AU in assists and rebounds, while earning All-Patriot League Defensive Team recognition for her disruptive, physical style[1][4].
