Mancini honed her game at Webb City High School, where she earned First Team All‑Central Ozarks Conference honors and posted a career average of 16.0 points and 12.0 rebounds per game. She later played at Providence, appearing in 28 games and posting a career‑high 12 points against Creighton while averaging 1.5 points and 1.4 rebounds per contest.
