Mariana Valenzuela is giving Seton Hall a rugged, reliable two-way frontcourt presence
In the 2025-26 season, Mariana Valenzuela has emerged as a steady inside-out forward for Seton Hall, leading the Pirates in scoring and rebounding at 14.7 points and 8.3 rebounds per game while adding size, toughness, and a playable perimeter touch. The 6-foot-2 graduate transfer from Florida State brings proven experience, posting 4.1 points and 2.5 rebounds across 80 games before arriving in Newark, and her recent BIG EAST recognition signals a player trending upward. She’s the kind of forward who fits if a team wants production, versatility, and physicality without drama.
