Icon3 Engine won't turnover

I have a 98' civic LX with 208k miles... It was running perfectly fine friday during the day. I went to go start it later that night and the engine did not turn over. My battery is good, I replaced the alternator and starter about a month ago; it has plenty of oil and when i turn the ignition you can hear the fuel pump and a somewhat loud click. What could be the problem!?

Get someone to tap on the starter with a hammer, metal rod, something like that while you hold the key in the Start position. If it starts up after a few taps, then your starter is going dead, and you should replace the starter. You might have gotten a shitty starter, I don't know.

That was the problem exactly! Thanks for your help!
