Mary Bernat brings size, versatility, and real defensive value to Ithaca’s frontcourt
Bernat is a 6'0" forward for Ithaca who has already shown she can impact winning beyond scoring, posting 7 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 2 steals in her 2025-26 opener and adding 5 rebounds, 1 block, and 1 assist in a win over St. John Fisher. Her profile points to a long, active, defense-first forward who can defend the paint, rebound, and do the dirty work; that makes her a useful fit for teams needing toughness, length, and energy rather than a pure volume scorer.
