She has the kind of skill set that could translate well at the next level in basketball, but her ceiling on the soccer field is even higher.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">After committing to Utah State last year, she's stayed locked in on that path, continuing to improve and refine her game.

Maggie will continue her athletic career at the University of Utah, where her talent on the soccer field has opened the next door. Her competitiveness, work ethic, and athleticism developed on the hardwood should translate well as she takes the next step at the collegiate level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["866689"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69c16f9ec9990"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kira continued to impress on the basketball court this season, helping lead Duchesne on a late postseason run with her play and presence.
