Young players such as Pierotti are expected to embrace the “next woman up” mindset. Pierotti embraces that mentality. Pierotti has competed this travel season wearing the uniform of Carolina Hornets United. She stands at 5-foot-11 which is typically a height seen in centers and power forwards. Pierotti also has the skills of a guard – as well as the rim-attacking capabilities of one. She got to the free throw line on many occasions in Riverside’s Friday victory over 3A Oceanside – a testament to how she fuses together talent with toughness. A name that is teeming with upset, she played in 24 games last season for the Warriors and averaged 7.3 points per game.
