Women's Basketball

Aaron Dickie
second season


Aaron (Yantzi) Dickie, a former standout at the University of Vermont, returns to the Saint Michael's women's basketball program for her second year as the top assistant coach in 2007-08.

"Saint Michael's is very fortunate to have Aaron join our women's basketabll program," Niebling said. "After a stellar playing career, she is eager to share her knowledge and passion for the game with our team. She brings a tremendous amount of energy and enthusiasm to our group, and I couldn't be happier to have her aboard."

Dickie graduated from UVM in 2004 as one of the most decorated players in Catamounts' history. A three-time America East All-Conference selection (first team as a senior, second team as a sophomore and junior), Dickie finished her illustrious career with 1,592 points, fifth in the program's record book (surpassing Niebling, who is sixth on the all-time list with 1,435 points).

An outstanding shooter, Dickie is second in program history with a 56.7 percent field goal percentage, and she holds four of the top-10 single-season field goal percentage marks. She also was an accomplished free throw shooter, connecting on 80.7 percent of her attempts (third in team history), and graduated as the sixth-best rebounder at UVM with 715 boards.

She helped guide the Catamounts to four winning seasons, a pair of 20-victory campaigns, and the America East regular-season title and a berth in the Women's National Invitational Tournament quarterfinals as a sophomore in 2001-02. She was recruited by Niebling, and played her first three seasons while having Niebling as the primary assistant coach for the Catamounts.
