Ary Hicks brings defense-first juice and steady backcourt value for Niagara
In the 2023-24 season, Niagara guard Ary Hicks played 28 games and gave the Purple Eagles a useful two-way spark: 5.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.6 steals per game, plus an 81.5% free-throw mark[1][2]. Her calling card is pressure defense and versatility—45 steals on the year, multiple four-steal games, and enough playmaking to help organize an offense without needing the ball every trip[1][2]. She also showed clutch scoring pop with a 14-point game in the MAAC Tournament, which makes her a strong fit for a team that wants toughness, activity, and low-drama production from the backcourt[1].
