Continue ReadingThere’s been quite the buzz surrounding Lady Rivals this AAU season as has been the case in so many seasons before. We’ve seen many offers come through for players as the spring comes to a close and the summer closes in. With so much action happening, it only made sense for us to highlight those prospects within Lady Rivals who have gotten college consideration as they look to further their careers at the next level.
Mackenzie Mori – Hamden Hall (2025) offered by Maine
Quite a few players from Mass Rivals earned offers in recent days, starting with Hamden Hall rising junior Mackenzie Mori, who was offered by Maine. The 5-11 guard earned her first Division I offer in the process, a well-deserved and long overdue recognition for her. Very much a do-it-all guard with height that benefits her down low and on the perimeter. Should continue to flourish in a great system at Hamden Hall.
Colleen Phiri Colleen Phiri 5'11" | PF Tilton | 2025 State New E – Tilton School (2025) offered by Merrimack, Le Moyne, Albany
The New England prospect gets love from Northeast/New England schools. This is far from the first offer or offers that Phiri has gotten, but she nearly doubled her offer total with three over the past few days, all Division I offers at that too. An all-star, all-region, all-state level talent, Phiri provides a lot on the floor and a lot of versatility at that too. Her and Mori are much the same in their makeup as a player and utilization during the game.
Elyse Ngenda Elyse Ngenda 5'8" | CG New Hampton | 2026 State New E – New Hampton School (2026) offered by Wisconsin, UMass, Rhode Island, Siena & UPenn
If you thought three offers in one week was a lot, Ngenda just one-upped her teammates with five offers this month: two from New England, two from the Mid-Atlantic and one from the Big Ten in the Badgers. There’s plenty to offer on the floor in this combo guard, from great shooting to great passing. All-around exciting talent and a bonafide leader on the court in her demeanor and play.
Fope Ayo – Austin Prep (2026) offered by SMU
A four-star prospect in the 2026 class as ranked by ESPN and someone who’s already garnered the attention of quite a few top programs around the country, Ayo added a future ACC school in SMU to her offer list in recent days. There’s so much to say about this forward, a versatile piece, a rim protector, shot-blocker, crashes hard for rebounds and makes so many close-range shots look effortless. Elite-level talent and then some.
Olivia Fleming Olivia Fleming 5'7" | PG Northfield Mount Hermon | 2026 State New E – Northfield Mount Hermon (2026) offered by UMBC, Le Moyne & New Hampshire
The rising junior point guard has put it all on display this AAU season and really impressed at the NEPSGBCA Showcase late last week. She’s already gotten some college attention, but can now add three more Division I offers to her list. Impressive guard with a great understanding and grasp of the game. She’s continuously shown herself to be a producer, a scorer, someone who can do a lot with little and can change a game in a split-second.
Kate Lipatova – Putnam Science Academy (2025) offered by UPenn
Lipatova is not just an outstanding player on the floor, but as good, if not a better student, making this decision from UPenn to offer her a no-brainer. Underrated forward with a 6-3 frame and impressive wingspan. She’s already done a fantastic job at making her presence felt down low, staying strong on the paint. She lets the offense come to her and then attacks from there, looking to catch opponents sleeping or off-guard for consistent production.
Corrine Lomax – Tabor Academy (2027) offered by Quinnipiac
The youngest player on this update has certainly proven herself to be one of the better players in the entire Lady Rivals program. A rising sophomore, Lomax is coming off a fantastic freshman season at Tabor Academy, quickly getting used to the speed and pace of the game. Her height, like others in this article, lends itself to versatility on the floor as she can break down low and fill the stats like a forward, or light it up from deep like a guard.
