Raleigh, NC – As the NC State Women’s Basketball team navigates the 2025-26 season, their impressive 9-4 overall record (2-0 ACC) as of December 22, 2025, is built on a foundation of fierce rebounding. The Wolfpack has cemented its status as an ACC powerhouse on the glass, leading the conference in Rebounding Offense and showcasing a formidable collective effort that few opponents can match. This dominance is not just statistical; it’s a testament to the individual tenacity of players like Kamill Pierre, Tilda Trigger, and Maddie Cox.

Kamill Pierre: The Unstoppable Force

At the heart of NC State’s rebounding prowess stands Kamill Pierre, whose all-around game makes her an indispensable asset. Through 13 games, Pierre averages an impressive 15.15 points per game on an efficient .511 field goal percentage, demonstrating her scoring versatility. However, it’s her work on the boards that truly sets her apart. Pierre leads the team with an astounding 12.69 rebounds per game, a figure highlighted by her relentless pursuit of both offensive and defensive opportunities. With 4.00 offensive rebounds and 8.69 defensive rebounds per contest, she consistently provides second-chance points and stifles opponent possessions.

Pierre’s impact isn’t limited to averages; she’s delivered multiple standout performances, including two games with over 20 rebounds: a dominant 20 boards against Oklahoma on December 3, 2025, and an even more remarkable 21 rebounds against Green Bay on November 27, 2025. Her consistent high-level play is further underscored by her 8 double-doubles this season, proving her ability to make a significant impact across multiple statistical categories. Playing an average of 29.81 minutes per game, Pierre is clearly a central figure in the Wolfpack’s game plan.

Tilda Trigger: The Tenacious Presence

Complementing Pierre’s force is Tilda Trigger, who brings grit and defensive intensity to the paint. In 12 games played, Trigger is a vital component of the rebounding unit, averaging 7.83 rebounds per game. Her dedication to securing possessions is evident in her 3.08 offensive rebounds and 4.75 defensive rebounds per game. Trigger has also recorded a double-double this season, showcasing her ability to contribute effectively on both ends of the floor.

Beyond her rebounding, Trigger acts as a crucial defensive anchor, demonstrating an impressive knack for shot-blocking with 1.33 blocks per game and 16 total blocks. Her presence dissuades opponents from driving into the lane, adding another layer to NC State’s defensive scheme.

Maddie Cox: Making Key Contributions

While not always in the headlines, Maddie Cox has proven her capability to deliver key performances when the team needs it most. She contributed a significant 12 rebounds in the game against Seton Hall on December 7, 2025, a performance that also earned her a double-double this season. This single-game highlight underscores her potential and provides crucial depth to NC State’s formidable rebounding corps.

A Collective Rebounding Machine

The individual efforts of Pierre, Trigger, and Cox combine to form NC State’s unparalleled rebounding strength. The Wolfpack leads the ACC in Rebounding Offense, averaging 47.77 rebounds per game, and ranks an impressive 3rd in the ACC in Rebounding Margin (+10.85). In conference play, their dominance is even more pronounced, ranking 2nd in both Rebounding Offense (46.50 RPG) and Rebounding Margin (+15.50).

This collective and individual commitment to controlling the boards is a cornerstone of NC State’s success, providing extra scoring opportunities and limiting opponent possessions. As the season progresses, the relentless work of players like Kamill Pierre, Tilda Trigger, and Maddie Cox on the glass will be instrumental in the Wolfpack’s pursuit of conference and national aspirations.
