Camille Kerridge slides into the passing lanes grabbing steals, and she can easily push the ball right up the court herself for some solo fast breaks. She has a nice jump stop creating space pulling up for the jumper watching it swish through the net. She had a strong take to the rim attacking the paint and rolling the ball off her fingertips. She had a solid finish at the rim scoring three points the old fashioned way.
Jamaria Freeman had a nice shot from deep sliding into the openings and being ready for the pass. She was tough on defense stripping the ball from her opponents on the press getting the steal to score on a fast break. She was versatile on defense being able to guard around the perimeter and not backing down from getting inside to protect the basket.
Highlights
Amanda Mitchell is an asset in the paint being ready for the entry pass and bucket. She can seal off her opponents, or she can go to work handling the ball to bounce it off the glass for her points. She attacked the basket from the top of the key, too. She was rebounding well on both ends of the court.
Taylor Hawley is certainly a leader for her group as she is constantly talking on both ends of the court. She handles the ball well, and she knows how to knock down her shot from around the arc. She showed off her ability to make a play driving to the basket spinning to create some space and hitting the floater.
Highlights
Harissoum Coulibaly showed her versatility using power dribbles inside and attacking the basket handling the ball with ease. She even had a nice drop step to score some points showing her versatility with the ball. She slid behind her defenders being ready for the pass and bucket.
Jocelyne Grier is so strong taking the ball to the rim taking it coast to coast with ease. She sees the floor well being able to make the long pass to her teammates up the court for some fast break points. She showed off her range shooting the ball from around the perimeter, too. She got her hands in the way on defense, too, grabbing the steal and knowing exactly where to get the ball for an offensive play.
