Maria's slashing ability, passing precision, and defensive pressure gave teams fits at the scrimmage. She used a quick crossover jab combination, retreated to the perimeter, shifted into high gear, and accelerated through the gap to score a tough layup. Maria drove past defenders to score a floater and applied great pressure on ball-handlers to force turnovers. She scored a breakaway layup, converted a tough reverse layup off two feet, and dove to secure a key loose ball late in the game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
