NIAGARA PURPLE EAGLES WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

Metro Atlantic Athletic ConferenceD1winter

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Niagara University's women's basketball program, established in 1856 and located in western New York, faces a challenging 2024-25 season under third-year head coach Jada Pierce. The Purple Eagles have struggled significantly, compiling a winless 0-25 record across all contests, including an 0-10 mark at the Gallagher Center and 0-16 performance in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference play. The program's offensive output has been limited, averaging just 51.9 points per game while opponents score 79.8, a 28-point differential that reflects fundamental competitive gaps.

With 13 players on the active roster, Niagara is searching for consistency and improvement heading forward. The team's 0-15 road record and conference struggles indicate that wins have remained elusive both at home and away. Pierce's tenure has included this difficult season, and the Purple Eagles will need to identify areas for development across their compact roster to turn the trajectory around in future seasons.
