Player Bio
This smooth lefty is a defensive master; known for her ability to disrupt the opposing team's offense, Monroe is Florida State's all-time leader in blocked shots. Over her career, Monroe has averaged over 2 blocked shots per game. Monroe also displays a wide array of moves around the basket, including a nice lefty touch. The 6-4 lean power forward is shooting 48.8 percent from the floor through 24 games her senior year, while scoring 12.8 points per game.
A bit of a project, Monroe and Illinois' Jenna Smith seem to be battling to be the next center off the board after UConn's Tina Charles and Stanford's Jayne Appel come April.
Coach Reeve's Thoughts
"Jacinta is a 6'5" long, lean scorer, rebounding, shot blocking post, most effective around the basket." An Insider's Look
Sue Semrau, FSU Women's Head Coach"She's just so special in everything she brings. Really, the best thing she brings is her personality. She has a great sense of humor and really brings our team together."
