Tyla Fautua brings size, toughness, and upside to Pacific’s front line
In the 2024-25 season, Tyla Fautua gave Pacific a low-usage, energy-first forward with size at 6'0" and a reputation from her signing profile as a tough, aggressive competitor who can impact a game without chasing shots. She appeared in 21 games as a freshman and averaged 0.6 points, 0.9 rebounds, and 0.3 blocks in 6.0 minutes per game, which points to a developmental role more than a featured one. The interesting part: her background notes a strong scoring track record in Australia and international experience with Samoa, so the appeal is upside, grit, and athletic potential rather than box-score volume.
