<h4>OBSERVATIONS</h4>
<strong>Emily Carbajal</strong>
Carbajal showed the ability to make a quick decision 3 pointer and snap it off with confidence. She ran the floor well and even had a nice coast to coast finish.
<strong>Teja Kapp</strong>
Kapp had the look of a confident shooter from behind the arc.
<strong>Natalee Krage</strong>
Krage went up strong in traffic, focused, and finished.

Smieska made a big statement about her game over the weekend. She was a terrific 2 way player. Smieska handled the ball well and created openings for herself and her teammates by getting to the rim. She also showed 3 point range on her jumper.

<strong>Chelsi Zyla</strong>
Zyla showed nice range on her jumper, connecting from behind the arc.
