Bachmann, who has long been a fixture on Minnesota Fury rosters, found rotation minutes on the Chaska varsity squad this season, averaging just over 4 points per game. Over the winter the 5’8 guard served as a utility player for the Hawks, using her fundamental style, athleticism, and strong understanding of the game to make an impact for the team. Brooke’s game certainly isn’t flashy, but she is a skilled passer, proficient three-point shooter, and a reliable defender who always finds a way to get the job done. She’ll play for the Fury’s S40 squad this spring.

Unlike Dilger, Bachman is the type of player you may not notice at first. By game’s end, however, the 5’8 guard has usually checked all of the boxes. Brooke is rock-solid in every phase of the game. A strong, athletic defender, she excels at creating steals and frustrating scorers with her timing, quickness and physicality. Offensively, she makes the right pass, takes smart shots, and plays her role. This past summer Bachmann was often overshadowed on the loaded Fury 2029 UAA squad – it’s a veritable Who’s Who in the grade – but is quietly emerging as a player who can change games. Her basketball IQ, strength, and consistency give her strong upside. Players like Brooke often get overlooked early but eventually emerge as seriously good college players. One of the best examples wore the Chaska jersey herself and Anna Lenzen of the University of Mary has turned out to be terrific.
