Kali Roche brings rebound-first size and interior grit to Utah Valley
Roche’s calling card at Utah Valley was her work in the paint: as a freshman in the 2010-11 season, she logged a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds against NJIT, and earlier in the season she provided an immediate scoring spark with three quick interior buckets at South Dakota State.[3][1] The 6-foot forward from Parma, Idaho had a reputation as a productive high-school rebounder and scorer, averaging 17 points and 17 rebounds as a junior at Parma High.[4] If you want a frontcourt player who competes hard, cleans the glass, and can score efficiently around the rim, Roche fits that profile.[2][6]
