In the fifth game of the season she collected a season high five steals in a win over UNC-Wilmington. The Baltimore native snatched at least three steals seven times in 2021-22. Reese recorded three blocks four times. The final three-block performance came in her last game at Maryland when she posted 25 points, nine rebounds and three steals in the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Tournament against Stanford.

McKenzie Forbes - Harvard

After missing basketball for two seasons, McKenzie Forbes gave Harvard some bright moments during her first year at the Ivy League institution. In 2018-19 Forbes was a freshman reserve at California where she averaged 5.3 points in 17.1 minutes per game in 33 games with no starts. Last season she started 23 of 24 contests, playing 27.6 minutes per game, while averaging 14.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals. The 6-0 guard posted a near triple-double in her first game at Harvard with 20 points, eight rebounds and seven assists against UMass. Four games later she dropped 26 points in a win against Boston University, shooting 6-11 from three. From Jan. 22 - Feb. 4, Forbes made 12-of-22 threes over a three-game stretch, leading Harvard to wins over Cornell, Penn and Brown. Forbes scored a season high 30 points in an overtime loss to Penn. She hit five three-pointers in that appearance.

Kae Satterfield - Seton Hall

After three years of playing college hoops in Ohio, Kae Satterfield will now play closer to home. The New York City native will compete at Seton Hall in nearby New Jersey, after stints at Ohio State and Xavier. Satterfield posted career best numbers last season at Xavier with averages of 11 points and 7.2 rebounds per game. She also shot an impressive 91.3 percent from the free-throw line, making 63 of her 69 attempts from the charity stripe. Satterfield recorded five double-doubles during her third collegiate campaign. Her final double-double was a 16-point, 15-rebound performance in an overtime win against Georgetown. She shot a perfect 10-10 from the free-throw line in the victory. The 6-0 guard had a near triple-double against Seton Hall last season. She scored a season high 24 points with eight rebounds and eight assists on the road against her future program.

Alyza Winston - Florida Gulf Coast

A 5-7 guard from Muskegon, Michigan, Alyza Winston makes her debut for Florida Gulf Coast after three seasons at Michigan State. Winston averaged a career best 12.2 points last season in just 10 games after deciding to enter the NCAA transfer portal. Winston started the year with her best offensive showing of the short season, posting 20 points in 24 minutes in a blowout win against Morehead State in the season opener. She shot 4-7 from three-point land in that game. Winston followed that with a 17-point, six-assist effort against Niagra in game two. In 2020-21, Winston averaged 11.1 points per game in 23 games.
