Maria Palarino was a do-everything Terriers guard with a scorer’s touch and rebounder’s grit
In the 2018-19 season, Maria Palarino reached 1,000 career points for St. Francis Brooklyn and was known as a high-motor guard who could score, rebound, and create for teammates, with earlier seasons showing near double-double production and multiple games with 10+ rebounds. Her differentiator was toughness: she played bigger than her position, piled up assists and steals, and brought a steady all-around game rather than one flashy skill. She also had a reputation for professionalism off the court, including a media internship with the Penguins, which speaks to her maturity and team-first fit.
