Aikens returns to Nevada following stints at Cal State Fullerton, Army and Seattle University. She will serve as an assistant coach
Aikens had two stints at Cal State Fullerton. In her first rotation, she assisted on the offensive side of the ball and helped guide the Titans to back-to-back Big West Tournament appearances. The 2025-26 season was her second stint, where the Titans finished with an 18-14 overall record and a 13-7 record in conference play. It was just the second winning season since the 1990-91 season and the team had the most conference wins since 1990-91.
Prior to returning to Fullerton, Aikens served as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Army, where she helped lead the Black Knights to a 25-win season—tied for the second-most in program history—and a runner-up finish in both the Patriot League regular season and championship tournament. Army earned an automatic bid to the WNIT and secured the program's first postseason victory.
Aikens also spent two seasons at Seattle University, assisting on defense.
She began her coaching career at Nevada from 2018-20, first as a graduate assistant while earning her master's degree, then as Director of Player Development, gaining valuable experience in recruiting, scouting, and individual player growth.
As a player, Aikens competed at Fresno State from 2013–16, helping lead the Bulldogs to a Mountain West championship game, an NCAA Tournament appearance and a WNIT bid. She began her collegiate career at Howard College and later played semi-professionally for the SoCal Splash, winning both conference and regional titles.
