<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Zoe has a ton of upside, but the positional value she'll bring this season to lineups can be absolutely immense. She's lengthy, isn't afraid to take open shots, drives well to the lane and is a profitable cutter. Even though, she's been mentioned lately, Hunter's name needed to be included in this article.</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Wapiti are in good hands with Saige being a lead guard for them. She's one of the movers and shakers of the team that has a very commanding game. DeJesus has the potential to help carry this squad some distance. </p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sarika is a disciplined guard that finishes plays, is an unselfish player and makes others better too. In her sophomore season, Agarwalla will be able to provide aid in many perimeter roles. The ability to plug holes and give her team what they need is exactly what makes her such a steady talent. </p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Marianna will be in an even better position to contribute for Thayer this season. She's certainly an underrated player that can facilitate as well as provide some spark scoring when she gets going. Lamonica also exerts an all-out effort on the defensive side of the ball. She's active in the passing lanes and she has quick feet, so she can shadow ballhandlers while on the ball. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Maya Ocana- Saunders (2029) | 5'6 CG | MacDuffie </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Maya is incredibly active on both sides of the ball. She's long and athletic, so she's able to have an effect on what's going on positively from many areas on the floor. Ocana also shows resilience, never getting outside of her game when things get tough. This persistence makes her a stable 2-way influence. Maya will be very useful for the team this season. </p>
