Defensive Pest & Floor General Bringing Tenacious Energy to NC Wesleyan
The 5'5" sophomore guard is a high-motor playmaker who excels on the defensive end—she posted a career-high 6 steals against Christopher Newport (2025-26 season). Through the season, Hughes accumulated 81 points, 52 assists, and 21 steals, showcasing her all-around hustle and court vision. Her strength lies in her relentless intensity, ball-handling, and ability to create for teammates rather than scoring volume. Perfect fit for programs valuing defensive pressure, floor leadership, and gritty, unselfish play.
