As the final buzzer sounded in the Pac-12 Women’s Basketball championship final, it was fitting that the ball happened to be in the hands of Charlisse Leger-Walker. Almost like it was scripted by destiny

People knew that Charlisse was gonna be good. She debuted for the Tall Ferns at 16 years old (and was a part of the bronze medallist Comm Games squad in 2018) and has excelled for age grade national teams. But maybe people didn’t quite think she’d be Pac-12 conference Freshman of the Year good.
