Arizona's Esmery Martinez says she's up for the challenge of facing her former West Virginia teammates when the Wildcats take on the Mountaineers in the NCAA Tournament.
PJ Brown COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Throw a challenge at Esmery Martinez, and she’ll take it head on with a smile on her face. She doesn’t care what it is; it’s never too big or too small.
All-around playerWhen Martinez says everything, she means it. The senior two-way player can do it all. "She does take some beatings sometimes. I think anytime we can find a break in the schedule to rest her body for a couple of days, that's a good thing and it will pay off dividends here in the postseason.”
When Martinez thinks about going against former West Virginia teammates in guards JJ Quinerly and Madisen Smith, who she faced every day in practice last season, it doesn’t faze her at all.
