On the offensive end, she does an excellent job of controlling pace, using hesitations and deception to lift defenders off their feet and open up passing lanes for her teammates. Tonight truly was a tale of two halves for her — in the first, she took over offensively, leading the team in scoring while going 3-of-4 from beyond the arc.

A highly intelligent guard who clearly understands how to impact a game in multiple ways.

A steady guard who handles the ball well and surveys the floor. Last year as a freshman in high school she started all 23 games and had her school one game for the state title!
