Her ability to control the pace of play allows the Huskies to operate efficiently in both transition and half-court settings. Passante does a strong job reading defensive coverages and making the correct decision with the ball in her hands. Whether its finding an open shooter on the perimeter or attacking a gap in the defense, she consistently puts her teammates in scoring positions. Her handle under pressure allows Morgan to break presses and settle into their offense without rushing possessions. As a senior, her leadership and communication have helped guide a relatively young lineup throughout the season. She's also been a defensive tone-setter at the point of attack, applying on-ball pressure and contesting passing lanes. Passante's poise in late game situations has been especially important during their 11 game win streak. Her ability to manage the game flow has made her one of the most impactful pieces in Morgan's success this winter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Maddy Grenon ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12125","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Morgan High School ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6998cc9865019"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Junior guard Maddy Grenon provides Morgan with a scoring threat in the backcourt who can also facilitate when needed.

Grenon has shown the ability to create her own shot off the dribble, especially when attacking from the wing. She's comfortable pulling up in the midrange or finishing at the rim through contact. In transition, she runs the floor well and positions herself for scoring opportunities early in possessions. Grenon's length at the guard position also makes her a disruptive defender against opposing backcourt players. She does a great job closing out on shooters and contesting without fouling.
