ECU’s steady, disruptive backcourt piece
In the 2025-26 season, Ayana McWilliams has been a useful East Carolina guard, averaging 3.5 points, 2.8 assists, and 1.7 steals per game, with value that goes beyond scoring because she creates possessions and pressures the ball.[1] She stands out as a low-usage connector who can handle the offense, defend with active hands, and add edge in transition, making her a fit for a team that needs guard depth, pace, and playmaking rather than a pure bucket-getter.[1][10]
