Desiree Pina brought scoring punch and shot creation to Fairfield
Desiree Pina was a reliable offensive guard for Fairfield, repeatedly showing she could score in bunches and stretch defenses from deep; in the 2011-12 season, she produced double-figure outings, including 15 points on 5-for-9 shooting against Saint Peter’s and a strong 14.5 points per game average at the Brown Bear Classic.[1][4] Earlier reporting also notes she started all 34 games in a previous season, averaged 12.1 points per game, and handed out 98 assists, which points to a guard who could both score and facilitate.[8] For a team, her value is straightforward: perimeter scoring, toughness in big moments, and enough playmaking to fit in a high-usage backcourt.[1][4][8]
