<p class="text-gray-700">Ke'Sonja is a great on ball defender who's not afraid to guard the opposing team's best player. She has the rare ability to completely shut down a player and take them out of the game. Ke'Sonja is disciplined on defense, she plays without fouling and has great anticipation on, on-ball steals and steals in the passing lane. The best attribute that sets her apart from other guards is her relentless effort and scrappiness, she plays until the final whistle and possess a very high motor which fuels her team's energy. These skills alone would make her a valuable asset for any team at the collegiate level.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Jayla is a versatile defender as she generates steals in many ways for her team. She excels in disrupting plays and forcing turnovers by applying heavy ball pressure and having active hands at all times, the way she is able to slide her feet and keep up with ball-handlers on the perimeter is very elite. Her role as a defensive spark plug could easily translate to the next level and make her a threat on a collegiate team.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">What makes Bailey such a formidable defender is her IQ and her ability to read offenses. She's able to pick up on opposing team's tendencies and exploit them, she's also a very physical defender. Her physicality makes ball-handlers uncomfortable and forces them to turn the ball over and make bad decisions with the ball. Bailey is not just a defender you're going to blow by easily and she's going to make her presence felt. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Molly is the lead defender on her team due to her underrated skill. That skill would be her communication on defense. She's very loud and vocal with her teammates, her voice serves as a guide for her teammates on defense. She makes great call outs, and she brings the energy there is no such thing as a quiet game with Molly on the court. She's great in help defense and rotates well.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Ava is a very versatile and athletic defender who can guard any position on the court. She is an absolute monster on defense; she can guard on-ball and off ball. The way she shuts down players is by denying them the ball, so they don't even have a chance to make a play offensively. In the paint she's just as dominant, she has the strength to battle with the big men in the paint. Her versatility alone could make her a great asset on any team at the collegiate level. </p>
