Quoting Head Coach Jonathan Tsipis
"Niya led St John's College High School (Washington D.C.) to a No. 3 national ranking in the espnW poll this past season and competed on the national stage with her AAU team, Fairfax Stars EYBL. She is a quick, explosive guard who can get in the lane to create for herself and others. She also is an elite on-the-ball defender. I have known Niya and her family since she was a freshman and we are excited to see her continue her athletic and academic career as a Badger."
Why Wisconsin?
"The campus is amazing and it felt like a home away from home."
