Cal Poly’s International Sophomore Forward with Elite Teammate Intensity
Nora Perez, a 5'9" sophomore forward from Spain, stands out not just for her 2025-26 stats (5.8 PPG, 4.2 RPG, 43.6% FG) but for her unmatched teammate intensity and caring personality—she’s openly called herself the “best teammate” she can be, prioritizing role fulfillment over individual glory. Though she missed time in 2024-25 due to Vanessa McManus’s absence (not her own injury), her resilience and international basketball IQ make her a high-fit, low-risk addition for any team seeking a reliable, selfless forward who elevates others. Her differentiator is emotional leadership: she’s the “most special, caring” player on the roster, making her a cultural anchor as much as a statistical contributor.
