Samantha Monighetti '24 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to play the sport I love while receiving a quality education.  Basketball has already taught me so much in life.  I have learned the value of hard work, commitment and friendship.  I have learned to appreciate success when it is earned, but also to value the lessons learned from defeat.   Basketball has taught me that win or lose, you always treat your opponents with class and respect.  

Though I am young, I know life will have its ups and downs, just like basketball does.  I don't know what life has in store for me, but I do know basketball will be part of it.  If you are looking for a good PG who will work hard and do what it takes to be successful, then look no further......and when I help you win a national championship, we'll call that a bonus!!!

In terms of pure basketball.  I consider myself a solid PG.  When I am running point, all 5 players are a scoring threat.  I feel it is my job as PG not to just get up shots, but to run the offense in a way that gets us the highest percentage shot for that possession.  My job is to make sure my “team” puts points on the board! 

You will not find another player anywhere that works harder on defense than I do!  I love playing shut-down defense!  I take it as a huge complement when my coach matches me up with the other team’s best offensive players!
