About Niaya:  

Niaya is off to a terrific start this season for the Cougars, combining for nine goals in wins over Chapelgate Christian Academy and Anne Arundel Christian School in a four-day span.

Mount Carmel coach Doug Pryor said that the team’s leading scorer (14 goals) “is a bulldog with a nose for the goal” who “puts the ball in the back of the net, no matter how she gets it done. Niaya is a very good C Conference forward and one of the strongest and most physical players in the league.”

Congratulations, Niaya!
