Grace Martone
Martone is a skilled two-way player who has the length to deny passing lanes and disrupt opponents’ offensive rhythm. Her quickness combined with a smooth shot from beyond the arc make her a dynamic scorer on the offensive end. Martone is a consistent scoring threat for La Salle with the ability to turn good defense into offensive production.
Opponents can never get too comfortable facing Moreau because she is a scrappy defender with a high basketball IQ. She is skilled at anticipating where the ball is headed, and her quick hands translate to steals and scoring opportunities in transition. Moreau is also an aggressive rebounder and shot-blocker, unafraid to hustle and do the “little things” that make a huge difference.
With her defensive intensity and shot-blocking abilities, Dunphy is a formidable presence in the post. Her athleticism and height lead to productivity on the offensive end and a disrupting presence on defense. Dunphy is a difference-maker when she’s on the court and has the ability to create opportunities for her teammates as well.
Prince-Baquero is a savvy guard with the range to knock down a deep three beyond the arc. She has good court vision and is a solid facilitator and ball-handler. A fun all-around player whose speedy and quick shot release set her apart.
