Elissa Cunane used a mobile crutch during Northern Guilford's commencement as she recovered from a broken right foot.

ELISSA CUNANE

Former Northern Guilford standout Elissa Cunane has already made an impact as a freshman at N.C. State.

N.C. State coach Wes Moore on freshman center Elissa Cunane: “She’s a very skilled post player who has a lot of ways she can score. There are going to be times when she’s going to knock down some 3s for us. We graduated two really good post players, both playing in Spain professionally. We had a big hole there, a donut on offense with a big whole in if you take Elissa out.”
