Gehring is the type of shooter that can change a game. As a confident shooter she can get buckets from any where on the court, at any time in the game. From the jump ball, Alex comes out on fire. She can hit shots off the dribble, or off the pass within the offense very easily. Her range makes her hard to guard for any defense. But not just her range makes her dangerous because not only can she hit from 3pt, she can do it under pressure. She can do it off balance. She can do it from a play, or from her own creation. Watch for Alex to change games with her shooting all summer long.
