Penn Head Coach Mike McLaughlin is our latest guest on the Her Hoop Stats podcast. He discusses with John Liddle how they’ve been so successful. Did you know that Penn is currently ranked 13th in margin of victory per possession this season and 49th in our Her Hoop Stats Rating, which controls for the strength of their opponent? Standouts include Kayla Padilla (Top 100 in the NCAA in Points Per Play and Assist/Turnover Ratio), Kendall Grasela (14th in Assist/Turnover Ratio and 28th in Assists Per Game), and of course Eleah Parker (31st in Block Rate).
Coach McLaughlin on the key to success:
“For us, we recruit to Penn. We like the grinding kids, the gritty kids, the kids that really love to play the sport. I think that really where we center a lot of our attention, and we try to get the kids that match that.”
