Coming to work with your toolbox is important, and Termini came ready to do business. What stood out to me, especially for a rising sophomore, was her shot selection and ability to adjust to what was given to her. She mixed things up depending on the location and quality of the set, showing she didn’t need a perfect ball to find a way to be effective. Termini showed a good feel for identifying what shot was available and where she could attack the defense. That ability to process what she sees and make adjustments in the moment was one of the highlights of her day and gives her a nice foundation to build on as she continues to develop.

Termini is the kind of athlete you want to rally around at the L2 position. She had several terminal moments at the Stock Up Showcase, but her work in the middle-back area locked up her inclusion in this feature. Termini was an unflappable passer during serve-receive drills, even while enduring constant shuffles and on-court chaos. This also applied to Termini’s floor defense, which kept her side alive in those six-on-six marathons. Sometimes, standout performances are made through the unheralded, “unflashy” plays.
