Elyse has been playing stunningly as of late. This month she’s had numerous big scoring outputs including a few 20+ pt games recently. She just had 21 in a statement win vs Marianapolis as well 27 pts vs Rowe Court. She’s looked terrific in these matchups, truly demonstrating her talents. A distinguishing feature of her game is the angles she creates while penetrating. One of the best point-generators around. If she’s not getting the basket herself, her skillset influences others to get easier baskets themselves. The St. Bonnie’s commit is an unparalleled factor for Worcester. She’s been demonstrating her relentless creation skills off the dribble and her ability to find multiple ways to dissect the defense has been at an all-time high. Macdonough has been one of the better lead guards around in her senior campaign.

Elyse found herself to have the hot hand in the win vs Darrow. The 31 points lifted Worcester in a big way to get the victory, 78-73. MacDonough knocked the majority of her shots down from the field and she did it in spectacular fashion. She was savvy with the ball in her hands, making defenders react to her sharp movements. Her promptness to get to her spots was striking as well. A headlining feature that was also shown was her ability to captivate the defense. All levels of the opponents’ defenders were reacting to what she was doing and that allowed teammates to freely operate themselves. What a game from Elyse.

The St. Bonnie’s commit is bearing the fruits of her labor after scoring her 1000th point the other night. Elyse’s hard work has shown to reward her time and time again. Hitting that 1k milestone in stride while leading Worcester as one of their premier players is noteworthy. The Hilltoppers are running on all cylinders with Macdonough being the driving force.
