Ambriz Adjusting to College Game as Howard Payne Sophomore Guard
Amaris Ambriz, a 5'1" guard for Howard Payne, is in her sophomore season (2025-26) averaging 11.0 PPG on an impressive 57.1% FG. The El Paso native was a high-volume scorer in high school—averaging 13.1 PPG with elite playmaking (3.9 APG) and lockdown defense (3.1 SPG)—earning 2024 District Offensive MVP honors. While her college assist numbers (0.0 APG) suggest she's still finding her role in the Yellow Jackets' system, her shooting efficiency and scoring touch remain intact. She's a scrappy, high-motor competitor with proven range and defensive intensity—ideal for teams seeking a crafty, undersized guard who can create her own shot.
