Tevao brings size, defensive grit, and room to grow for Chicago State
In the 2023 season, Yzabelle Laualofa Tevao provided Chicago State with a 6-1 frontcourt presence who was praised by the staff as a stronger post option and a player improving her ball handling and comfort level on offense[8]. Her stat profile shows modest production—about 2.2 points and 2.4 rebounds per game with a 30.7% field-goal rate—so her value is less about volume and more about toughness, size, and developing versatility[1]. She also brings a proven defensive pedigree from high school as a two-time All-Defensive selection, which makes her a fit if a team wants a hard-nosed, low-ego forward who can absorb physical play and keep getting better[2][5].
