Ayars was a pioneer in women's athletics at Davidson College. It was her suggestion to college administrators that helped form a field hockey program. She went on to participate in field hockey and was named to the All-Deep South first team. She also played number one singles on the women's tennis team, compiling a 6-2 record as a senior. However, she was nationally ranked in a sport in which Davidson has never had a team - squash.
