Mahli Abdouch brings disruptive defense and steady backcourt poise to South Dakota State
A redshirt freshman guard for South Dakota State, Mahli Abdouch has already shown she can impact games with energy, ball pressure, and playmaking—highlighted by a program-record 10 steals and a points-steals double-double in 2025-26. She also carries a strong all-around background from O’Gorman, where she was a multi-time state champion and set school records in assists, steals, and threes. Her fit is best for teams that value gritty perimeter defense, fast hands, and a guard who can complement scorers rather than dominate usage.
