veteran Sam Houston guard with scoring touch and defensive grit
Hartley brings the kind of steady, team-first guard play that coaches usually trust in tight games: in the 2008-09 season at Sam Houston, she started 13 games as a true freshman and played in 11 more, which points to early earning-power and reliability.[2] The main differentiator is her poise and adaptability as a smaller guard who had to compete for minutes quickly, a profile that often translates to toughness, pace control, and defensive willingness rather than pure volume scoring.[2] The available record is limited, so any deeper performance read should be treated cautiously, but she clearly fit as a competitive backcourt piece who could help a roster with energy and discipline.[2]
