Smooth with the ball in her hand.. Lexi has a strong handle on the ball, and knows how to get to her spots. Defensively, she’s locked in and applies pressure from the moment the ball is passed in.

Rodriguez didn’t have her best shooting day, but she made an impact in just about every other area of the game. She’s the type of player who does all the little things a coach (and fans) will love. On offense, she sets up plays rather than being reactive. One of my favorite sequences of the day was when Rodriguez made two impressive passes in a single play to create a second-chance scoring opportunity. On defense, she’s a vocal leader, pointing out where players should go to make sure no one goes unguarded. She dove to save the ball from going out of bounds. She showcased the ability to rebound and come down with the ball in traffic. A high-motor, high basketball IQ player.

Love Lexi’s defense and how she protects the paint!  Opposing guards- be aware that she can and will block! With her arms up, combined with her muscle and size, she is a wall inside!
