Athletic:
She was one of the fastest on the floor, and found her spots because of it. You could always see her running the floor and filling lanes.
Hustle:
The athleticism she showed in this particular game meant nothing if she was not putting in the full effort. She was, and it led the team to do the same types of things overall.
Defense:
As mentioned in a previous article, Madanski was a pest on the defensive end. She was consistently in the way of passes, and recorded several steals that led to transition opportunities on the other end of the floor.
Offensive awareness:
She didn’t try to do too much with the ball, and played within herself, scoring near the basket and not forcing too many contested jumpers or anything.
