High-usage forward who already drives Thiel’s interior production
Risser is a productive, high-minute forward for Thiel who started all 25 games in 2024-25 and led the team in scoring (11.2 ppg) and blocks (0.8 bpg) while also contributing 4.2 rebounds per game. Her ceiling showed in a 24-point, 18-rebound outing against Penn State-Shenango, signaling she can tilt games with physicality and volume on the glass. For a team, that means a dependable frontcourt piece who brings toughness, interior scoring, and defensive activity rather than flashy perimeter production.
