Dakota McCaughan is UNC Asheville’s high-volume shot-maker and hustle guard
In the 2024-25 season, McCaughan took on a major role for UNC Asheville, starting 28 of 31 games and averaging 9.0 points, 3.0 assists, 2.2 steals, and a conference-best 2.2 threes per game, while earning Big South Player of the Week after a 29-point, nine-triple outburst. Her value goes beyond scoring: she brings perimeter shooting, disruptive defense, and guard play that can swing momentum, and her academic honors suggest a reliable, high-character fit for a program that wants toughness and shot creation.
