Niagara's Rebounding Guard Michelle Manfredi: A 2008 Purple Eagles Standout
Michelle Manfredi, a 5'10" guard for the Niagara Purple Eagles, dominated the 2007-08 season as a junior, starting 29 games and averaging 7.9 points, a conference-leading 8.8 rebounds (2nd in offensive at 3.0, top in defensive at 5.76), 2.8 assists (11th in MAAC), and 1.4 steals—showcasing elite rebounding instincts and court vision rare for her position. Her MAAC All-Academic honor highlights disciplined intensity; post-graduation, she thrived overseas in Germany's 2.Regionalliga with TSV Quakenbrueck Dragons.
