Enjoy a look at notes taken on some players from each team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>Conway Springs</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='606245' first='Melissa' last='Ebenkamp']</strong>, 5'3", PG, 2024 - The team's top ball handler, Ebenkamp is very quick and fast. Pushes the ball up with floor with the dribble and the pass, looks to get the transition game going quickly. Can hit the three ball and finish with speed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='598829' first='Katelyn' last='Koester']</strong>, 5'8", PF, 2023 - Koester is a threat to score in a variety of situations. Looking for down-the-floor passes, she runs the floor with good speed in transition; competes well inside; shoots well in the mid-range; and finishes with speed from either side. She also is a solid free throw shooter. On the other end was the team's most reliable post defender. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='606258' first='Olivia' last='Lange']</strong>, 5'7", SG/PG, 2024 - Like her teammates Lange runs well and is effective in the transition game. A credible perimeter threat, Lange has good touch on her three ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>Sterling</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Katie Conard</strong>, 5'8", PF, 2024 - Conard altered and blocked several shots without fouling. She also used a quick drop step and the glass to score from the low block. Conard actively defended and showed good good transition speed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='606259' first='Avery' last='Linden']</strong>, 5'4", PG, 2024 - Linden was the primary ball hander and one of the team leaders on the floor. She showed a lot of hustle, good handles under full court pressure, and transition speed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='191473' first='Kate' last='Rowland'], 5'6", PG/SG, 2023 - Rowland was one of the Black Bears top ball handlers and floor leaders of the team. Her ability to post up defending guards enabled her to get to the line and get them in foul trouble. She did a good job working against full court pressure. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
