Lorianne Bueno brings disruptive defense and steady backcourt energy to Northern New Mexico
Bueno, a sophomore guard for Northern New Mexico in the 2025-26 season, profiles as a compact, high-motor backcourt piece who already showed strong defensive instincts in high school, averaging 3.2 steals per game and 2.0 assists per game at Franklin High in 2023-24. Her early college stat line is modest offensively, but that usually points more to a role player learning the college pace than a finished product. She looks like a fit for teams that value pressure defense, effort, and guard depth over pure scoring volume.
