Louise Larsen brings veteran point-guard grit and defensive bite to USF
Louise Larsen’s value is her steadiness: at San Francisco, she’s been praised as a relentless defender and floor general who can pressure the ball, create for teammates, and make winning plays when the game tightens up. In the 2001-02 season, she was named West Coast Conference Freshman of the Year after averaging 5.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.6 steals per game, and her early-career reputation centered on toughness, clutch free throws, and disruptive defense. If your team wants a guard who competes, organizes, and bothers opponents for 94 feet, she’s your kind of chaos.
