A Strategic Addition for the Blue Demons
DePaul women’s basketball coach Jill M. Pizzotti announced the commitment of transfer guard Nyah Lowery for the 2026‑27 season, marking the fifth new face in the program’s reshaping effort. The announcement underscores the coaching staff’s focus on blending competitive depth with scholarly excellence.
Lowery arrives after three seasons at Pacific University, where she logged 94 career appearances and posted the best statistical season of her collegiate tenure. In that year she set personal bests in points, rebounds and three‑point shooting, averaging 5.9 points and 3.3 rebounds while playing just over 21 minutes per game. Her contributions also included 34 assists and 24 steals, highlighting a well‑rounded skill set.
A Sacramento, California native, Lowery will pursue a degree in Performing Arts Management at DePaul, a decision that reflects her ambition to excel both on the hardwood and in the classroom. Coach Pizzotti praised the guard’s “skills and commitment to excellence,” noting that her dedication extends beyond statistics to the broader culture of the program.
The addition of Lowery is part of a broader recruitment wave that includes transfers from George Mason University, Iona University, Wagner College and San Jose State University. Each newcomer brings a distinct background, but together they signal DePaul’s intent to rebuild a competitive squad while maintaining academic rigor.
Fans and analysts alike will watch how Lowery integrates into the Blue Demons’ system, especially as the team looks to translate its recruiting momentum into on‑court success. With a blend of experience, versatility and academic drive, she represents a promising piece of the program’s future.
