<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1308669' first='Julia' last='Pfau'] (Seckman): A 6'0" small forward who is a matchup problem with her size and excellent skill set on the perimeter. She uses her height to her advantage as she can dribble herself into the low post against smaller defenders. She is also a good facilitator with her ball handling and playmaking skills. She can create her own shot off the dribble with a nice step-back 3-pointer.</p>

<p>K'lee Dubois (Jefferson City): A 6'1" forward who is a developing young talent in the Mid Missouri area. She can play the "Stretch 4" role very well with her ability to shoot it from 3-point range. She is ideal in the pick and pop and she can also hit transition 3s. She also has good fundamentals around the basket. She already has an offer from Central Methodist. That list of offers should continue to grow in the future.</p>
