The 5'5" Floor General Who Outplays Her Size with Elite Intensity
Mya Zaccagnini, the 5'5" junior guard for the Iona Gaels, is a steady, all-around contributor in the 2025-26 season, averaging 8.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game while appearing in all 32 contests[1][2]. Her differentiator is her 'on-the-floor coach' mentality; former coaches describe her as a true floor general and a 'hooper' who brings elite intensity and leadership that transcends her modest height[7]. While her shooting efficiency (36.2% FG, 29.3% 3PT) is average for a guard, her 80.4% free-throw rate and durability (no reported injury history) make her a reliable, high-character fit for teams needing a gritty, defensive-minded leader who can organize play rather than just score[1][6]. She is an excellent fit for a team prioritizing intensity, ball security, and veteran stability over pure scoring volume.
