proven guard with local-star pedigree and playmaking roots
Hayward brings a guard’s toolkit built on high-school acclaim and early college production: Maryland Eastern Shore lists her as a 5-foot-8 guard who earned three straight all-city first-team honors, league MVP, and All-State Division V First Team recognition in 2009, while ESPN’s stat page shows limited but efficient early college output in the games it tracks. The big differentiator is résumé-plus-fit upside: she has demonstrated scoring and leadership pedigree, suggesting value for a team that wants a composed backcourt presence who can contribute in a structured role rather than needing the ball every trip.
