Steady two-way guard who brings hustle, steals, and timely scoring
Taeya Steinauer is a useful glue-piece guard whose game is built on effort, activity, and versatility: as a freshman at Purdue Fort Wayne in 2024-25, she played in all 36 games, averaged 3.1 points, 1.9 rebounds, 0.9 assists, and 1.0 steals in 11.6 minutes, and earned two Horizon League Freshman of the Week honors. Her calling cards are defensive pressure and knack for disruptive plays—she had five steals in a game against Aquinas and scored 19 points in that same breakout, showing she can swing a game when her shot is falling.
