the Buckets-and-Grit forward who could take over games
Rachelle Coward built her Charleston Southern reputation as a high-motor forward who could score in bunches and stretch defenses, highlighted by a 30-point game against Maine in the 2011 season and multiple 20-plus outings that season and in 2012. Reliable coverage from CSU and opponents described her as a leader who could also create for teammates, rebound, and defend, not just hunt shots. If a team wants a forward with shot-making confidence, toughness, and a scorer’s mentality, Coward checks the box; if they want quiet, low-usage floor-keeping, she’s not that vibe.
