Portugal's Pass-First Freshman Phenom Powering Monmouth's Backcourt
Freshman guard Madalena Amaro has burst onto the scene for the 21-12 Monmouth Hawks in 2025-26, leading the team with 114 assists (3.6 per game) across 32 games and 28 starts while earning CAA All-Rookie honors—her elite playmaking vision and defensive tenacity (highlighted by ESPN steals) make her a floor general who elevates teammates despite modest 5.3 PPG and 32.2% FG.[1][2][6] From Faro, Portugal, this 5'9" dynamo brings international flair, intensity, and no injury red flags, making her a steal for teams needing a selfless, high-IQ distributor to run the show.[6]
