NEW YORK — Maddy Siegrist, reigning Big East player of the year, answers most questions with a kind of wry half-smile, game for most any query, strange or straightforward.
Don’t let that agreeableness fool you, her coach says.
“Maddy is by far one of the most competitive people I know — more than you might think,” said Villanova coach Denise Dillon on Tuesday at Big East media day at Madison Square Garden. “Even pickup, she won’t allow anyone to go through the motions.”
