Fairfield’s steady, gritty point guard with a history of elite floor leadership
Lizzy Ball built her Fairfield reputation in the 2015-16 season as a tough, low-mistake lead guard who paced the MAAC in assists per game at 5.7 and posted a 2.58 assist-to-turnover ratio, which ranked 11th nationally; Fairfield also called her one of the team’s toughest and grittiest players. She fits teams that value tempo control, decision-making, and defensive competitiveness more than highlight-chasing. The big question is current status, because the available source data is historical, but her profile screams dependable organizer, not flashy scorer.
