Widener University Athletics

Nikki Carden, a two-time all-conference player, is in her eighth year as an assistant coach for the Pride.

Carden had a standout three-year run for Widener University, in which she totaled 910 points after transferring from UMBC.

She had a breakout senior campaign in 2003-04. She drilled a school-record 56 three-pointers, helping Widener capture the Commonwealth Conference title and advance to the NCAA Tournament. Carden scored a career-high 31 points and netted her 1,000th collegiate point in the semifinals at No. 5 Messiah.

She ended that season being named first team all-conference and honorable mention All-ECAC.

Carden finished her career with 125 three-pointers, still the second-best mark in school history.
