Darrionna Howard is a tough defender blocking shots and using her length to deflect passes. She is strong on the boards, especially on the offensive side of the ball crashing hard to maintain possession for her team. She can battle against anyone in the paint making some nice “and 1” plays.
Highlights

Grace Rinaldo
Grace Rinaldo used her height and strength to grab offensive rebounds. Her up and under move is smooth getting her defender away from her to score some points. She was strong battling against tough opponents in the paint.
Zahra Douglas partnered her strength and ball handling in the paint to score some points moving her defender out of the way with ease. She’s a three level scorer knowing how to create her own plays. On defense, she picked the pocket of guards trying to get by her.
Aaliyah El (featured photo) moves well without the ball flashing in and out of the paint looking for a pass. She shows patience when it comes to making her moves. She was tough in the paint battling through contact and getting some three point plays from the free throw line.
Bailey Page was dominant in the paint battling through contact for some three point plays finishing at the free throw line. She had a great spin move getting her defender off of her on her way to two points. Her smothering defense made it difficult for anyone to score near her.
Alexis Shehan has a nose for the ball going after offensive rebounds to score her points or releasing quickly to get the pass on a fast break. She assesses where her defender is before making her move to score some points when she is posting up on the block. She does a great job using her length to block passes on defense to grab steals on her own.
Highlights
Samantha Shehan runs the floor well being ready to catch a pass and score by the basket on fast breaks or spread the floor and shoot from behind the arc. She made sure to find a body to box out whenever a shot went up, and that helped her on both ends of the court.
