Nivar averaged nearly seven points, four rebounds, and two rebounds per game with her best statistical performance coming against Puerto Rico in the group stage when she scored 10 points, grabbed five rebounds, while dishing out three assists.

Nivar has added a Gold medal to an already very impressive and extremely decorated high school career as she was selected as a McDonald’s All-American, a First Team All-State selection, District Player of the Year, and was the North Carolina Gatorade Player of The Year. All of this while maintaining an impressive 4.29 GPA.

She along with 2023 mens commit Kanaan Carlyle both had the opportunity to play in the Americas Championship tournament, as similar to Nivar, Carlyle was able to help the mens team bring home Gold.

The future of Stanford basketball on both the men's and women's side seem to be in very good hands.
