Rachel Swartz brings size, rebounding grit, and veteran reliability to Missouri State
Rachel Swartz’s most useful calling card was her steady, low-drama presence: as a senior in the 2016-17 season, she played in all 31 games, started 13, and averaged 2.2 points and 2.7 rebounds, while also ranking 12th in Missouri State history with 124 games played.[1][2] At 6-foot-3, she gave the Bears frontcourt length, rebounding, and foul-line dependability—she made 32 of her final 38 free throws—and her long run in the program suggests a player coaches could trust for toughness and consistency more than flashy stat lines.[1][2]
