Ava Persichetti brings two-way hustle and reliable perimeter shooting for Richmond
Persichetti flashed immediate value as a freshman for Richmond in 2025-26, appearing in all 34 games and hitting 25 threes while shooting 34.2% from deep, with efficient bursts like 12 points in her debut and strong scoring nights against Fairfield and Liberty.[1][9][10] Her profile goes beyond the box score: she adds activity on defense with 25 steals, plays with pace in a winning system, and comes from a high-volume high school background that included 20.3 points, 3.8 assists and 3.4 steals per game in 2023-24, suggesting a guard who can fit as a steady, competitive connector.[1][5][6]
