Senior Forward with Elite Scoring Pedigree and High-Impact Rebounding
Angelica de Paulo, a 6'2" senior forward from Sao Paulo, Brazil, brings a rare blend of international scoring pedigree and intense physicality to Utah State. While her 2016-17 season stats show modest averages (2.7 PPG, 2.0 RPG), her prior dominance at New Mexico Junior College (16.5 PPG, 43.2% FG, 40.0% 3PT) reveals a high-ceiling shooter who thrives in space. Her differentiator is her 'Brazilian intensity'—a relentless rebounding drive (career-best 6 rebounds vs. Utah Valley) and a personality that elevates team morale. With no reported injury history and a proven ability to start 15 of 22 games (2017-18), she is a reliable fit for teams needing a versatile forward who can score, rebound, and lead with grit.
