LIU’s Freshman Forward Bringing Shooting Touch and Quiet Two-Way Upside
In the 2025-26 season, Leila Nuñez has given LIU a playable freshman forward who contributes across the box score, posting 4.0 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.0 assist, and 1.3 blocks per game while hitting 32.9% from three and 73.3% at the line over 32 games. Her calling card is versatility: she can stretch the floor, protect the rim, and has already shown she can pop for timely scoring bursts in LIU wins. For a team looking for length, developing skill, and a high-upside connector, she’s an intriguing fit.
