Behind those goggles is a girl who showed up ready to go at the Expo. She does not have a big frame which gets her moved around at times but she played with lots of energy and scored in a multitude of ways. She used a solid handle to beat defenders and get in the paint where she is a creative finisher. She shoots the 3 with confidence and after she makes a couple shots her confidence spikes and elevates her game at both ends. She will continue to be a big piece of the United EAST program.

Alyssa has scored 600+ points in 2 seasons at St. Dominic’s HS and she has done it in a variety of ways. She is best when attacking the paint with either hand and using her excellent footwork to finish inside also with either hand. She is patient and uses hesitation well to freeze the defense. She is comfortable at the 3-point line where she hit 25 3’s in 29 games as a sophomore. In addition to leading the team in scoring, she led the team in steals, and she turns those steals into points on the other end. A leader for United EAST this summer, Alyssa game continues to expand, and her junior year will be fun to watch.

Always in attack mode on offense for the United 17u East team. When she has the ball, she is trying to break down her defender. She is quick and shifty with the ball and when she gets the defender leaning, she gets downhill quick. She uses a strong euro step at the rim and finishes with both hands. Alyssa likes to play with tempo and gets all her teammates involved on the offensive end. She averaged 3+apg per game as a sophomore at St. Dominic’s HS. She should pass 1,000 career points in her junior year. Defensively, she is looking to get in passing lanes and take it coast to coast and has averaged 2+spg in her high school career.  Add in 3+rpg and you have a player that will do whatever it takes to help her team.
