ESPN released their updated rankings of who they believe are the Top-25 players in Women’s College Basketball, and NC State had two players represented.
22. Saniya Rivers, NC State
Guard | 6-foot-1 | junior No team has exceeded expectations this season like NC State, and Rivers is a major reason why. She scored a career-high 33 points in the Wolfpack’s breakthrough game, an 11-point win over UConn. After a disappointing freshman season at South Carolina, Rivers moved on to Raleigh, where last season she showed flashes of the potential now being realized.
Stats: 13.7 PPG, 5.9 RPG, 4.4 APG
