Out of the Bahamas, Waltiea Rolle making her mark at UNC
Posted Mar 4, 2010
Waltiea Rolle, a 6-foot-6 freshman forward, leads the conference with 68 blocked shots, averaging 2.4 per game. Rolle’s 6-foot-11 wingspan challenges anyone who dares to impose on UNC’s basket. Though she averages only 7.1 points a game, defenders struggle to protect the rim against her physical presence. But when Rolle arrived at Westbury Christian School, a high school in Houston, the game was as new to her as the country.
