[player_tooltip player_id='987550' first='Lusine' last='Hagopian'] (2025) | 5'7 Guard/Wing | Mount Saint Charles   Lusine has been a staple for Mount Saint Charles all season. The multifaceted senior does a little bit of everything for the Mounties. In the postseason expect her play up close defense on perimeter players and showing aggression as she dives for those crucial rebounds tomorrow. Her steady points plus the physical play will get her to the line which could ultimately be the deciding factor. Lusine is one of those utilitarian players that offers essential qualities for winning basketball.     [player_tooltip player_id='1073903' first='Masha' last='Solovian'] (2026) | PF/C | Mount Saint Charles   Masha could very well be the determinant in postseason play. The length and versatility might pose a problem for Rocky Hill. She has range plus she's a major deterrence down low on the defensive end. The sheer size alone can be intimidating, but she's an adept protector that provides solid help-side assistance. On offense anticipate Solovian to be a player that gets quality looks in all the right spots.     [player_tooltip player_id='802977' first='Ava' last='Ayotte'] (2028) | 5'5 PG | Mount Saint Charles   Ava is going to need to bring that mighty aggressive play, especially offensively for MSC to win big. The local favorite has had a great first year and exceeded expectations. Ayotte does not look like a freshman out there; her playstyle can be intrusive to the defense on the perimeter with long-range shots or within the paint with her skilled drives. The team will be looking for the young guard to step up as they are battling against some injury in their frontcourt.     [player_tooltip player_id='282621' first='Jaizzy' last='Santiago'] (2026) | 5'4 CG | Mount Saint Charles   The '26 stock-riser was previously deemed an underrated talent, but with her play this season, her game has seemed to reach a new level. The potent offensive skills have the capability to stifle the defense and she has the potential to truly shape the game. Her eminent success translates to wins for the squad. If she's playing freely out there, her creation along with defensive playmaking may just be too overwhelming for any listless guard who doesn't come in with that much needed vigor.     [player_tooltip player_id='326843' first='Addison' last='Johnson'] (2026) | Guard | Mount Saint Charles   Addie has stepped up to the challenge in the absence of the team's star player and she'll be looking to bring that same tenacity that's been working for her in this matchup. Her 3-point shooting capacity alone is enough reason to pay extra attention to her. Johnson's ability to extend the floor will command defenders to bring their 'A' game because she can get going in a rush. The junior guard even brings top-level speed on the defensive side of the ball herself. She'll get a chance to rush opposing guards out their rhythm which can help the momentum. Keep an eye for Addie.     [player_tooltip player_id='428116' first='Lily' last='Sokol'] (2026) | Wing/Forward | RHCD   Lily is a player won't be stopped. She is her team's leading force and they feature her heavily with set plays for her plus she finds ways to affect the game without the ball in her hands. The versatility as a forward will require wings to provide their best efforts to stop her from getting her accustomed baskets. Sokol has range and tremendous patience, so she'll have what it takes to get it done in big games.     [player_tooltip player_id='967964' first='Aliona' last='Nikulina'] (2027) | 6'0 PF | RHCD   Aliona unfortunately was dealing with injuries during the season, but has battled back recently to showcase why she's such a highly touted prospect in her class at the power forward position. Thers no exact update on what percentage Nikulina is for the game, but she could still be very effective due to her natural skill and resourcefulness around the basket. She's a strong bodied frontcourt player that can rebound with the best of them plus she has a tendency to finish efficiently around the basket. The defense she may be able to provide can be a staple. She serves as an anchor and she isn't hesitant with her physicality. With Aliona out there, the games become incredibly intriguing.     [player_tooltip player_id='281713' first='Vyannis' last='Moronta'] (2025) | 5'3 Guard | RHDC   Moronta will have a chance to demonstrate her experience over the opponents in late season play. The guard has championship experience and will likely have opportunities to showcase high level play. She logs heavy minutes, so she has the makings of a player that could have a big game. If Moronta is able to connect from distance or get to the line consistently as well as being able to provide steady perimeter defense, Rocky Hill will flourish. The steady talent of Vyannis is a certain plus.
