Marissa is a well-rounded combo guard that can guide and communicate with her team on both ends of the floor.

Her reading of the game allow her to run play for her teammates and herself, while her athleticism and explosiveness allow her to lead the team on transition and take advantage of whatever the defense gives her.

She creates from the PnR effectively as she uses her strength, speed and handles to read and effectively make the decision on whether to penetrate, take the three, find her open teammate or feed the post.

Her defensive skills have awarded her defensive player of the year for 2 consecutive years. This is a result of her intense and aggressive on-ball pressure, combined with her smart and fast help and recover.

Marissa is always open to new challenges and will give everything in her power to get the desired result for her team. She leads by example with her energetic work ethic and ability to motivate her teammates.
