Kyia Hough brings veteran defensive juice and bench spark to Western Carolina
Kyia Hough is a savvy Western Carolina guard who has flashed real two-way value, including a career-high six steals in a 2017 SoCon game and multiple bench scoring bursts earlier in her Catamount career[7][8][9]. She stands out for disruptive defense, quick hands, and the kind of high-energy, glue-player mentality that coaches usually trust in tight games[7][9]. If you want a guard who can change tempo, pressure the ball, and bring edge without needing the offense built around her, she’s the type of fit that quietly makes a roster better.
