Naastad is a quality guard for Hatton-Northwood and a critical returning player going into next season. The Thunder maintain high expectations for 2026-2027, and Natalie is up for the challenge. She is an excellent defender and lengthy guard who makes things difficult for opponents. I appreciate the effort and enthusiasm she plays with. She pursues rebounds and isn’t afraid to handle the ball if needed. Natalie is a good outside shooter and has nice rotation on her shot. I think her squad gets over the hump next season and gets to the state tournament.
