She ran the floor well. Did a good job making herself available to in transition. Had a nice rebound put-back in the 3rd quarter. Hit two triples in the game against [program_tooltip program_id='712974' first='TN' last='Flight']. She also hit two threes including a clutch one from the corner to put her team up by 2 points in the 4th quarter against LGR. I really liked her energy and effort in both matchups. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["722828"],"_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-66a17fbd16f42"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Piper led the way for LGR against [program_tooltip program_id='712592' first='Kentucky' last='Premier']. She knocked down a trey ball from the wing then came right back and finished with a nice floater in the lane, scoring the first 5 points for her team. She then hit two more from long distance in the second half, finishing with four 3-pointers in the game. Piper can flat out shoot it and has unlimited range.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["913400"],"_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-66a17fbd17075"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Trinity played very well against [program_tooltip program_id='712974' first='TN' last='Flight']. She made a tremendous effort to rebound the ball and did a great job grabbing offensive rebounds and going right back up to score. She showed a soft touch around the rim, blocked shots, and had a tough coast to coast finish late in the 4th quarter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["913410"],"_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-66a17fbd170d4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alyssa has good size and length for a lead guard. She brought energy to the floor and was very active on the defensive end against [program_tooltip program_id='712592' first='Kentucky' last='Premier']. She hit a three from the wing to start the 3rd quarter. Got a steal and scored the other way in the 4th quarter, followed by a pretty pump fake one dribble pull-up jumper from the mid-range to bring her team within 4 points. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["514124"],"_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-66a17fbd1712b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Zoey is a guard with good size, length, and smooth shooting stroke from three. I liked her game against Team Takeover. She showed excellent lateral quickness and did a good job sliding her feet to keep ball handlers in front of her. She found her groove offensively in the second half and knocked down 3 triples. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
