SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Drury Lady Panthers head coach Kaci Bailey has announced two additions to the 2026 signing class, welcoming Quinn Aldridge and Candela Roy Ibaibarriaga to the program on May 28.
 
Quinn Aldridge will remain in southwest Missouri as she joins the Lady Panthers following a standout career at Marshfield High School. The two-time All-State selection helped lead the Blue Jays to a third-place finish in Class 5 this past season. As a senior, she averaged 12.9 points, 2.0 rebounds, and shot 37% from three-point range.
 
Aldridge earned First Team All-Ozark Mountain Conference honors for the second straight year and was previously an All-Big 8 selection as a sophomore before Marshfield's conference transition. Across her four-year career, Marshfield posted a 101-21 record, winning three district titles and earning two third-place state finishes.
 
A multi-sport standout, Aldridge was also a two-time Class 4 All-State volleyball player, helping Marshfield to a district title while surpassing 1,000 career assists and digs.
 
Candela Roy Ibaibarriaga joins Drury as a junior transfer after a strong season at Otero College in Colorado. She started 29 games, averaging 10.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 3.0 steals per game while shooting 45.4% from the field. She posted four double-digit rebounding games, including a season-high 16 rebounds against State Fair on Nov. 14, and recorded two 20-plus-point performances, highlighted by a 26-point outing vs. Cisco College on Nov. 21.
 
Before Otero, the native of La Muela, Spain, began her collegiate career at Trinidad State, where she averaged 12.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 2.5 steals per game while starting 24 of 25 games as a freshman. She also recorded five games with 10 or more rebounds during her first collegiate season.
 
Aldridge and Ibaibarriaga join five December signees set to arrive for the 2026-27 season: Josie Salazar, Emma Atkins, Samantha Becker, Audrey Arnold, and Lucy Hafer.
