Chanin Scott

At 14.3 points per game, Chanin Scott was the leading scorer for the North Carolina A&T Aggies that made it to the NCAA Tournament. The guard averaged a team best 8.6 rebounds per game as well. She grabbed 10 or more rebounds seven times last season and had four double-doubles. Scott matched her season high of 23 points when she and her teammates faced North Carolina State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. She shot 11-19 in that game. She came close to a triple double with 11 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists in a late season win over North Carolina Central. She also matched her season best of six steals in that contest. Scott led North Carolina A&T in steals with 37.

Sean Kelly Darks

As a freshman, Sean Kelly Darks was one of the more productive players on a very experienced roster. She was third on the team in scoring at 10.5 points per game. The guard was also third on the team in assists (46) and steals (32). Her best scoring performance was a 19-point effort against South Carolina State in her fourth collegiate game. The next game she dished out a career high nine assists to go along with 12 points, once again versus South Carolina State.

Shayla Nelson

Shayla Nelson is a capable rebounder. Last season she pulled down a season high 11 rebounds against Norfolk State. She also had a game with nine boards, as she scored a season high 14 points against Averett. Nelson had no less than two steals six times last season.

Faith Blackstone

A transfer from Syracuse, Blackstone gives North Carolina A&T a bigger guard with her 6-0 frame. She played just six games last season for Syracuse. Her most productive game was an 11-point, five steal performance against Lincoln. She also shot 2-5 from three-point territory that night.
