Poetrie Dace brings size, defensive activity and steady utility to MVSU’s backcourt
In the 2025-26 season, Poetrie Dace is a freshman guard for Mississippi Valley State listed at 5'9", and her current stat line shows a low-usage rotation role with occasional scoring, rebounding and ball pressure rather than high-volume shot creation.[6][1] Her high-school profile points to a stronger all-around base—11.6 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game in 2022-23—and that hints at a guard who competes on the glass and can disrupt possessions, which makes her more interesting than the box score alone suggests.[7] For a team needing a gritty, adaptable backcourt piece with some defensive bite and upside, she looks like a developmental fit.[3][7]
