• Neverson was the Big Sky Top Reserve of the Year last season at Northern Arizona and established a starting role with the 'Bows in her final season.

She ranks second on the team in scoring (9.2 ppg), rebounding (5.1 rpg) and field-goal percentage (.482).

A two-time Big West All-Defensive Team selection, she ranks seventh in career blocked shots and has the ability to guard every position on the court.
