[player_tooltip player_id='1050217' first='Sara' last='Santimaw'] (2027) | 6'1 Wing | Taft   Taft came up short against Greenwich Country Day in their matchup the other day, but Santimaw was a bright spot for them. Her 23 pts, 6 reb, 2 ast and 2 bl performance was quite impressive to say the least. Her long athletic frame couple with gleaming agility set the foundation to be successful. Sara was able to demonstrate absolute control despite having some top-rated guards in her vicinity. She allowed the game to come to her, never forcing shots that weren't there and she also allowed her profound defense to fuel her offense. Santimaw isn't looking back as she's been climbing the ranks. The various polished attributes plus her frame make her an intriguing prospect to keep an eye on in the class.     Elyse MacDonough (2025) | 5'8 CG | Worcester   Elyse found herself to have the hot hand in the win vs Darrow. The 31 points lifted Worcester in a big way to get the victory, 78-73. MacDonough knocked the majority of her shots down from the field and she did it in spectacular fashion. She was savvy with the ball in her hands, making defenders react to her sharp movements. Her promptness to get to her spots was striking as well. A headlining feature that was also shown was her ability to captivate the defense. All levels of the opponents' defenders were reacting to what she was doing and that allowed teammates to freely operate themselves. What a game from Elyse.     [player_tooltip player_id='299404' first='Kate' last='Cimador'] (2025) | 5'10 SG | Fairfield Ludlowe   Cimador has been absolutely phenomenal this season. She's just became the team's all-time leading scorer a few nights ago after putting up a 39-point game. The 39 came on 9 fluent 3-pointers. Kate knows exactly how to craft a possession to get her shot off. She's a high-capacity scorer that retains a potent shot making ability off the dribble due to her easily accessible shot pocket. There's little time needed for her to get the ball where it needs to be so she can fire it off quickly. Kate's shot is balanced and has a great foundation to it which allows her to launch 3's from distance with minimal effort, regardless of the defense in her face. With multiple 30-point performances on the season, it'd be almost deplorable not to mention her strong showings.   Congratulations on making history, what an accomplishment and a career so far.     [player_tooltip player_id='987487' first='Natalia' last='Hall-Rosa'] (2025) | 6'0 Wing | Rivers   Natalia has come alive in the month of January. She's put together a couple stellar performances in a striking manner. Hall-Rosa's most underrated quality as a top ranked player is her perseverance and the tenacity she plays with. On no account is she complacent. She takes what's hers, refusing to settle and that's a commendable attribute. Her influence on the game can be unmatched at times. This month's 20 pt, as well as 17 pt recent performances are expressing how much of a gamer she really is. Natalia's efficiency comes while playing with a few other highly ranked teammates.     [player_tooltip player_id='1050171' first='Lucianna' last='Parrotta'] (2027) | CG | Sacred Heart Greenwich   Lucianna has been excellent lately for Sacred Heart. Her last game stats were 18pts, 11reb, 2stl, 2ast and 1bl, coming in a Class A win over Choate. The constant activity on the floor was preeminent. Parrotta's bread and butter is certainly her versatility. She does all the little things on the floor plus she has no problem going the extra mile for her teammates. Lucianna can be found regularly stepping down on defense to fill gaps and aiding in help-side position. Offensively, she finds the open space on the floor, particularly without the ball in her hand. In these latest games Parrotta has also shown she's a steady shooter that can knock down shots after the kickout reliably. Her ability to affect the game in various ways can't be overlooked.
