Lauren Manis
Lauren Manis was the first player in Holy Cross history to score 2,000 points and grab 1,000 career rebounds. In her four seasons at Holy Cross, Manis averaged 16.6 points and 9.7 rebounds per game. Also, Manis shot 42% from the field and 35% from beyond the arch.
As a senior, Manis averaged a career-high in scoring 18.6 and rebounding 11.5 per game. Also, career highs in field goal percentage (45%) and three-point percentage 46%. Manis added 20 double-doubles as a senior as well.
Manis is a player that can score of the dribble and can also rebound well. She improved her three-point shot 27% as junior to 46% as a senior. The former Holy Cross star will need to keep improving on her shot to be able to help the Aces because they need outside shooters.
