Gisela Segura brings veteran grit, rebounding, and glue-player value to Illinois
In the 2024-25 season at LIU, Gisela Segura started 20 of 22 games and averaged 5.1 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.3 assists while shooting 36.4% from the field and 52.9% at the line. She’s a 5-foot-11 forward who gives Illinois a seasoned, physical wing-forward with multi-year college experience, defensive activity, and a steady team-first profile. What makes her interesting is the intangibles: she was Illinois’ 2025-26 Sportsmanship Award honoree and has surpassed 500 career points, 300 rebounds, 100 assists, and 100 steals, which screams dependable connector more than empty-stat scorer.
