ROSTER:
Tessa Carman Tessa Carman 5'11" | PF Red Bank Catholic | 2025 State NJ | #3
A player with tremendous versatility and physicality, Tessa commands the area around the paint and can also stretch out to knock down deep shots. She’s relentless on the glass and acts as a security blanket on the o-boards to create second chances for her team.
Aleena Dinker Aleena Dinker 5'6" | CG St. John Vianney | 2025 State NJ | #4
A very skilled and crafty two-way guard, Aleena creates for others and gets everyone involved. She has strong handles and phenomenal court vision to drop off dimes with finesse and precision. Sharp cuts to the basket and lockdown perimeter defense make her game well-rounded and one college coaches love to scout.
Emma Thornton Emma Thornton 5'11" | C Barnegat | 2025 State NJ | #5
With great length and reach, Emma is a strong interior presence who makes quite the impact on both ends. She excels on defense, deflecting and altering shots to deter dribble drives and protect the rim. She’s ultra fearless when crashing the glass and isn’t rattled going up against much taller bigs.
Olivia Shaughnessy Olivia Shaughnessy 5'6" | PG Manasquan | 2025 State NJ | #10
Liv runs the floor hard and really pushes the pace while looking to set up and execute plays. She is a confident ball-handler with a low turnover rate and great efficiency dishing dimes and making things happen for her team. Her post-entry passes are well-timed and perfectly placed.
Mackenzie Teevan Mackenzie Teevan 6'4" | PF Holmdel | 2025 State NJ | #20
Mackenzie is an absolute GAME CHANGER any time she’s on the court. At 6’4”, she has tremendous size and sheer strength! A freight train coming at you in transition, she is relentless, runs the floor hard and has excellent mobility. Mackenzie is a matchup nightmare; she dominates in the low block and stretches the floor well, confidently draining daggers from deep.
Sidney Quinn Sidney Quinn 6'2" | PF Gill St. Bernard | 2025 State NJ | #22
The Navy commit is a long and lengthy player with a loaded arsenal. She runs the floor with gazelle-like quickness and anticipates with cheetah-like reflexes. She has no problem banging with bigs in the post or pulling it out to 15 feet and knocking down the middy. She is ferocious attacking from the wing and getting to the hoop.
Kayden Clark Kayden Clark 5'8" | CG Ocean Township | 2025 State NJ | #32
If there’s one thing Kayden is going to do, it’s give you buckets! She can score it from just about anywhere on the floor and when she gets hot, there’s not much an opponent can do to extinguish that flame! She causes a world of issues on both sides of the ball, playing a hard-nosed, blue-collar type of defense to match her impressive offensive prowess.
Christina Liggio Christina Liggio 5'8" | PG Red Bank Catholic | 2025 State NJ | #33
An efficient 3-level scorer, Christina plays the game with a high level of intensity and competitive fire. She applies suffocating, smothering on-ball pressure and forces a ton of turnovers which, in turn, ignites quick-hitting transition offense.
Gandy Malou-Mamel Gandy Malou-Mamel 6'6" | C Gill St. Bernard's | 2025 State NJ | #42
The UConn commit is emerging as an unstoppable force in the post. Gandy’s a dangerous big because of how easily she floats up and down the court. She can defend under the rim or out along the perimeter. Her aggressive two-way game and ever-evolving versatility makes her style of play very reminiscent to that of UConn star (and now WNBA draftee) Aaliyah Edwards.
