Let's Talk Recruits - Nicea Eliely

Colorado Springs' Nicea Eliely

With the 6-foot wing player (Eliely) on the floor it was no contest, with Rampart outscoring Regis 58-37.

"We struggle a little bit when she's out of the game just because we haven't had to face it very often, to be honest," coach Ashley Miller said.


Eliely scored 33 points in sending her team to its third-straight berth in the round of 16. She had 16 in the fourth quarter, making 12 of 12 free throws in the period, hitting two shots and assisting on her team's only other field goal.

Rampart Rams (& Nicea Eliely) nearly upset No 1 seed Lakewood (CO) Tigers in State Finals.

LAKEWOOD - The gym was silent.

Rampart's Nicea Eliely had just fired a pass to a wide-open Thalia Buckley, who sank a 3-pointer. With four minutes left in a Class 5A state playoff game, Lakewood's Tigers had seen their lead over Eliely and Rampart cut to only two points.
"I was so excited," Eliely said. "I thought, 'We can win this! We can beat a No. 1 seed!'"

Unfortunately for Rampart, the pass and 3-pointer served as the peak of a spirited upset bid. Lakewood dominated the final minutes, rolled to a 65-51 win and ended Rampart's season. Eliely was spectacular, scoring 31 points in a performance that approached perfection. She sank 13 of 15 shots and didn't miss from the field until 6:19 left in the game.
