Last week, Keith profiled one half of the Wirth twins. Today, I’ll preview the other half. LeeAnne Wirth carved out a steady role last season as a freshman and now looks to improve on that in her sophomore campaign.
Jenn and LeeAnne are very different players, but complement each other perfectly, just as twins should do. Jenn is more offensive-minded and a solid rebounder. LeeAnne is the defensive stopper. Last year, LeeAnne averaged 3.5 points in 11 minutes per game. She played in 31 games and was primarily used as a defensive presence in the front court. Her stats may not be eye-popping (14 steals, 10 blocks), but if you watch their games, you’ve seen that she forces opponents to take difficult shots.
