What a year this has been for Smelser. Every regional D2 coach I talk to seems to know her game well, and the ensuing conversations are always interesting. Anyone watching the Expo knows why. Anna impacts every area of the game on both sides of the ball. A physical, pace-pushing guard, she thrives in run-and-gun situations, firing sharp passes and scoring with an improved mid-range game. Her competitive drive is strong, and she embraces the alpha role. Smelser’s steady climb in the rankings over the past year – she went from #82 to #72 to #62 – reflects her growth. Strong, skilled, and tireless in her work ethic, Anna is bound for big things.
