Mel is a strong, physical presence who stays active in the paint, battling for rebounds on both ends. Her size gives her a clear advantage, not only finishing over defenders inside but also surveying the floor from the perimeter to make smart passes. In the post she plays through contact, using a combination of strength and skill to score through double teams. She brings constant effort and toughness to her team.

offers a credible source of scoring from the post, mid-post and the 3-point line. Her faceup game is lethal because of her high percentage midrange shot. She is a patient player that plays with a great pace. Mel gets off the ball fast to be able to shift the defense while she finds her spots in the cracks behind defenders. She’s a reliable option when the offensive breaks down due to her ability to finish with both hands. McCarthy embraces contact and rarely complains about the foul. Mel serves as a solid defender when faced with traditional posts on the block. She isn’t foul prone and communicates well with her teammates. McCarthy will be a player to keep an eye out for in New Hampshire this year.
