She had 24 points and 17 rebounds in the championship game victory over Union. She has so many dimensions to her game as she can score inside with her touch and mobility. She can also handle the ball, pass it and make her teammates better. She is also an imposing defender with her height.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='170614' first='Emilee' last='DeHaas'] (Southern Boone): A 5'11 forward who plays a strong back to the basket game.

She clears space through double teams and she finishes well in traffic.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Paige Morse (Southern Boone): A 6'0 2023 Columbia College recruit who causes problems with her length and athleticism.
