Nicki Jones brings Drexel a long, two-way forward with real shot-blocking bite
In the 2012-13 season, Nicki Jones was a 6-2 Drexel forward who gave the Dragons interior length, rim protection, and efficient scoring bursts, including a career-high 20 points and a double-double before a torn ACL ended her season early.[1] She was also a seasoned, award-recognized presence, with CAA Commissioner’s Awards in 2012 and 2013, and drew notice for defensive impact like four blocks at Princeton and strong all-around stretches against quality opponents.[1][11] If you want a forward who plays with physicality, timing, and a “glue-and-guts” edge, she was exactly that kind of fit.[1][15]
