Spanish Guard Marta Gutierrez Brings Ball-Handling Security and Versatility to App State
The 5'7" junior guard from Dénia, Spain joined App State in spring 2026 after a standout 2024-25 season at Vincennes University, where she averaged 11.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 4.2 assists while shooting 47.3% from the field and earning NJCAA DI All-Region honors. Coach Alaura Sharp specifically praised Gutierrez for providing "great security at the ball handling position" and versatility—exactly what a mid-major program needs. Early 2025-26 action shows she's adjusting to the four-year level. A crafty, multi-skilled guard who can facilitate and score, Gutierrez is an intriguing fit for teams seeking depth at the point guard spot with international pedigree.
