The 5’4 guard might be little but her impact on the game was awfully big when we watched the sophomore play in Milwaukee. Konkel is super quick, accelerates with a big burst, and can flat out go in the open court. Combined with excellent elevation and terrific lateral movement, Konkel makes up for her lack of height with a ton of energy and a lot of cleverness. She’s also tough. Konkel took a charge on Saturday from an opponent who led with a forearm to the jaw that sent Siri flying. She got up, shook it off, gave the referee a bit of a side eye, and quickly got back down to business. Konkel hails from Spring Grove in the farthest reaches of Southeastern Minnesota, home to the world-famous soda pop of the same name. Siri’s got some pop in her game, too!
