Temple’s steady, veteran rebounder and glue player
Chrissy Cruz is best known as a reliable, high-effort forward who helped anchor Temple’s 2003–04 women’s basketball run, including a 2004 Atlantic 10 championship season, and she was later recognized among the program’s notable decade honorees[4][2]. In the 2002–03 season, she flashed her value as a rebounder and efficient scorer in multiple games, including a 7-rebound outing against Ole Miss and an 8-point effort vs. Fordham[6][5]. The clear fit here is a coach who wants toughness, board work, and low-drama dependability over flash.
