March 20, 2022, Holy Cross guard Avery LaBarbera announced her commitment to the University of Wisconsin for her final year of Division I eligibility. Under two head coaches, the five-foot-six-inch senior mustered 13.8 tallies, 6.2 boards, 3.4 dimes and nearly two swipes each time out over her storied four-year career in Worcester, Massachusetts.
In addition to her 2022 Player of the Year nod and First Team All-Patriot League honors, LaBarbera helped guide the Crusaders to a regular-season title, a postseason bid for the Women’s National Invitation Tournament and an impressive 20-11 overall record. The New York native also snagged an astounding 304 rebounds, enough to rank 35th among 149 qualified student athletes.
