“Lea is a high-motor athlete capable of playing multiple positions and doing the things that help teams win. Her combination of speed, strength, and aggressiveness allows her to guard all five positions and be a disruptive force on the defensive end. She attacks every rebound with determination and consistently brings energy that elevates those around her. What immediately stands out is her athleticism, toughness, and willingness to compete on every possession. While her offensive game continues to develop, her physical tools and relentless work ethic give her tremendous potential. Lea is the type of player who makes a winning impact through defense, rebounding, and effort every time she steps on the floor.”
