It felt like Pelayo was the X factor in the Valkyries opening round win. They did not have an answer for her down low, but she also showed her range by extending out and knocking down a 3-pointer in her team’s win. She has excellent length and height, but what really stood out was her touch on both sides of the basket. She shot 8-for-11 from the field and scored a game-high 20 points. She also had 9 rebounds, 3 assists, and a block.
