UNCG’s steady, two-way glue player with proven production
Irene Otamiri profiles as a reliable, defense-minded forward who made her mark at UNCG with consistency, toughness, and hustle rather than empty flash. In the 2005-06 season, she was the only Spartans player to start all 30 games, averaging 8.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, 56 assists, and 49 steals while shooting 44.9% from the field; she also delivered a team-leading 106 field goals and earned SoCon All-Tournament honors after a strong postseason run. Her value is the kind coaches love: dependable minutes, disruptive defense, and a steady competitive edge.
