The lefty is as fearless and tough as they come. Schmaltz took a blow to the head early in the Sophomore ID Camp and, for a moment, it appeared her day might be over. However, she was able to return and didn’t miss a beat. The 5-foot-3 guard out of Goodhue used her size to her advantage, keeping her dribble low and out of the reach of some of the best defenders in the class. She also used her strong frame to protect the ball, get to her spots and create opportunities for herself and her teammates. The Legacy Elite guard was fun to watch and makes every team she plays for better because she knows exactly who she is and what she brings to the table.

Another member of the Wildcats squad, Schmaltz was a pleasant surprise from the Freshman Showcase. The 5’3 guard’s game is simply overflowing with confidence. She pushes the pace in transition, sees the floor well, has a strong set of fundamentals, and just plays incredibly hard at all times. The Minnesota Suns guard is also a vocal defender, and an unselfish passer with plenty of speed. Despite her small stature, Georgia had no problem making her presence known on Sunday. After her most recent performance, we are certainly hoping to see the Goodhue freshman make her varsity debut this winter.
