Notre Dame’s Intense, Leadership-Driven Center with Career Double-Double
Mikayla Vaughn, Notre Dame’s 6-foot-2 center, is a high-intensity, leadership-focused player who secured her first career double-double against Syracuse in the 2025–26 season, averaging 10.6 ppg and 7.0 rpg. Known for her 57.3% field goal percentage (2020–21) and relentless defensive presence, Vaughn overcame a 2017–18 season-ending injury to become the team’s lone experienced on-court leader. Her Philadelphia-born grit, team-first mentality, and ability to dominate the paint make her a perfect fit for any team seeking a resilient, vocal anchor who elevates play beyond stats.
