Rider impacts the game on both ends, particularly with her defensive instincts. She anticipates passing lanes well and is active in disrupting offensive flow, often turning steals into transition opportunities. In Salem’s semifinal win, Rider hustled back in transition, read plays developing ahead of time, and forced multiple turnovers. Once she secures the ball, she looks to push the tempo but also shows patience when the numbers aren’t in her favor. Her defensive pressure and ability to contribute across multiple statistical categories make her a key all-around presence.
