If foul trouble plagues the star player(s), these x-factors can help seal the win for their team whether its with stats or perhaps the intangibles that don’t necessarily show up on the box score.
Brooke rebounds the ball well for a point guard. She plays aggressive, high tempo basketball on both ends. Defensively, she plays very smart and calculated to snatch up steals but avoid racking up fouls.
Highlights
At 6’5″, Malou is an absolute force inside. She is a blocking & rebounding extraordinaire. Shooting over her is very, very difficult.
Ore’s stifling defense can create turnovers in a hurry. Her defense and offense are very balanced, as she can just about score from anywhere on the court, including the perimeter.
At 6’0″, she uses her body and length to impose herself nicely. A very physical player who sets effective screens for her teammates. She can make defenders pay under the rim when she posts up and when she boxes out.
Bliss puts herself in a position to score every time she’s on the floor, and can score in multiple ways. A good dribble penetration and a good spot-up 3. Her court awareness is stellar.
El McCabe

If El gets going from 3-point territory, it can be a long night for the opposing team. 3-pointers can rain down in bunches. El’s athleticism and leadership qualities are second to none.
Ava puts the clamps on defensively. She loves super quick and fast-paced basketball. She is also a dynamic rebounding guard and positions herself nicely to grab the boards on both ends.
Lauren La Ratta
Lauren La Ratta
Lauren is the lone senior on this very young team. She can do it all on the court and her leadership skills set the tone. She wills her team to perform their best day in and day out.
Small in stature, huge in heart and fight. Belle is a super speedy and scrappy guard that never gives up on the play. If her team needs a drive to the basket for free throw opportunities, she can deliver!

The Ursuline Academy (DE) transfer has adapted quickly to her new team. She understands her strengths well and knows that if she gets hot from the perimeter, the 3-pointers will rain in buckets. She can quickly swift momentum with her 3-point daggers.
Jessica Wojnar

One of her team’s leaders in assists, Jessica has excellent court vision and can easily find the open player. She makes the most of her minutes and stays locked in on defense to force turnovers.
