Senior Forward with Elite Shooting Efficiency and Winning Intensity
Irune Orio, the 6'2" senior forward for Pepperdine Waves, stands out with a remarkable 66.7% field goal percentage in the 2025-26 season, showcasing elite shooting efficiency despite modest averages (4 PPG, 4 RPG) [1]. Her differentiators include a relentless intensity level and a winning personality that fueled Pepperdine’s best start in 45 years and most wins in seven years [2]. As a Spanish native from Balmaseda, she brings international experience and a 3.2 rebounds-per-game high school pedigree [4]. With no reported injury history and a senior-class leadership role, Orio is a high-fit prospect for teams seeking reliable, efficient forwards who elevate team culture and performance [1][2].
