Ciara Bailey brings size, defense, and a steady interior presence for Norfolk State
In the 2025-26 season, Bailey has grown into a more useful two-way forward for Norfolk State, with 5.0 points per game on 42.7% shooting in 23 games, plus a notable defensive impact highlighted by a MEAC Defensive Player of the Week honor after a 10-point, 11-rebound effort against No. 21 Ohio State. She is at her best when she is cleaning the glass, protecting the paint, and giving the Spartans a physical frontcourt option; she is not a high-volume scorer, but she is a reliable energy player whose toughness and rim activity can help a team right away.
