Rozentale joins Fernandez's impressive 2018 recruiting class that includes fellow Latvian Luize Septe (Ventspills, Latvia). USF's 2018 signing class now numbers six with 5-10 combo guard Sydni Harvey (Nashville, Tenn.), 5-11 shooting guard Makaela Kestner (Bealton, Va.), and 6-foot wing Irida Tsafara (Athens, Greece) joining Septe, a 5-11 wing, Elisa Pinzan (Murano, Italy), a 5-8 point guard, and Rozentale. "Rozentale is a versatile forward who can play inside and out," Fernandez said. "She has been very successful at the international level and we look forward to bringing that experience to our program." A native of Dobeles, Latvia,Rozentale played for the club team TTT Riga Juniores, averaging 12.7 points and 12.5 rebounds per game in 2017-18. With TTT Riga in 2016-17, she stood out as the junior team's best rebounder with 9.1 per game and shot a team best .462 (36-of-78) to make up 9.6 points per game. In the summer of 2017, Rozentale saw action with the Latvian Under-19 National Team World Cup, where she averaged 8.9 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. She also saw action with the Latvian Under-18 National Team in the European Championship, where she hit 12.4 points and 10.7 rebounds per game. Three times in U18 European play, she recorded double-doubles and scored in double digits in five of seven games.

They listed her at 6-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's not crashing the boards then I don't know what is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB's point was that was in Euro junior league which doesn't always translate, but hopefully the above picture says it all and she's physical like a beast!

But she doesn't look beefy no matter the height. I guess women don't want their weight listed like they do for men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough to run out when you don't get the boards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
