Monmouth Freshman's Rebounding Prowess Shines in Rookie Campaign
Freshman forward Tessa Carman has burst onto the Monmouth Hawks scene in the 2025-26 season, averaging 4.3 rebounds and 3.8 points per game with a gritty 37.5% FG efficiency—numbers that pop for a 5'11" rookie thanks to her high school pedigree of 1,023 career points and 669 boards at Red Bank Catholic, where she captained to All-State honors. Her relentless intensity, block-steal upside (108 HS blocks), and versatile guard-forward build make her a culture-fit rebounder and defender for mid-major squads eyeing NEC contention; injury-free and poised for breakout.
