Promising Freshman Forward Building Foundation with LIU Sharks
Laeticia Hardy, a 6'0" freshman forward from Montreal, Quebec, has appeared in 16 games for the LIU Sharks in the 2024-25 season, averaging 4.7 minutes, 0.3 points, and 0.6 rebounds per game with modest totals of 4 points and 10 rebounds.[2] Coming off a decorated CEGEP career at Cégep de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu—highlighted by RSEQ provincial and silver medals, a Run for the Roses title, and CCAA silver in 2023—her raw athleticism, size, and championship pedigree stand out as differentiators for a developing big.[2] Earned NEC Winter Academic Honor Roll nods, signaling discipline and smarts; she's a high-upside role player with defensive potential (1 steal, 1 block), perfect for teams needing versatile frontcourt depth without immediate star production.[2][7]
