Ayisse Magassa gives Cleveland State a sturdy, high-motor frontcourt presence
In 2024-25 at La Salle, Magassa started all 33 games and averaged 7.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.0 assist while shooting 44.3% from the field, then arrived at Cleveland State with 497 career rebounds and a proven track record as a reliable interior contributor.[1][2][4][10] Her differentiators are toughness, defensive activity and consistency: she can rebound, create extra possessions with steals, and handle a starter’s workload, though the low free-throw and three-point percentages suggest she fits best as an energy forward rather than a spacing focal point.[1][5]
