Minnehaha Academy is one of Minnesota’s perennial programs that seems to have an endless stream of talented young players coming down the pipe. Erickson is no exception to that. Long and wiry, the 5’7 guard is smooth up and down the floor and plays with a significant bounce in her step. She has a well-rounded fundamental skillset, excelling as a perimeter ball handler, three-point shooter, and off-ball slasher. Liesl’s ability to change pace enables her to lure defenders in, then blow by them with a burst of speed and find wide open layups backdoor. On the defensive end, the Redhawks 8th grader uses her length to her advantage by getting in the passing lanes, applying pressure on the perimeter, and wreaking havoc on the other team’s ball handlers.

Runs up in transition with the point guard. Passing the ball around the perimeter making the defense shift. Then this player moves through the defense with ease and getting to the rim with smooth finishes uncontested.
