She attacked the rim using a floater that was just a giant killer very hard for low post defenders to get a hand on it. Her best game was against Henry Clay she led the Lady Spartans in scoring with 19 points. She had 5 rebounds and 3 steals as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["405331"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63ae3af8d9436"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='405331' first='Maya' last='Lawrie'] has really increased her level of intensity and level of play since seeing her over the summer.

Van Metre can score at high level once she finds her rhythm.
