Northwestern State's Clutch Senior Guard with Explosive Upside
Nia Hardison, the Lady Demons' top perimeter guard, erupted for a career-high 21 points on Senior Night (March 5, 2025), fueling a dominant 76-56 win and NSU's first winning regular season (15-14) since 2015-16[1][4]. Averaging 5.9 PPG, 2.6 RPG, and 1.1 APG in 29 games (27 starts) during 2024-25, she flashed elite scoring bursts like 16 vs. Lamar and multiple double-doubles, thriving in high-pressure moments with poise and heart from her Natchitoches roots[2][3]. Her intensity and leadership make her a perfect fit for teams needing a reliable, battle-tested combo guard who elevates in crunch time.
