Sipfle might not be 100 percent physically, but she’s still the anchor in the paint for Hamilton. She rebounds at a high level. She protects the rim. And around the basket, she’s extremely efficient. She doesn’t need 15 dribbles. One move, strong base, finish through contact. If Hamilton is going to defend its title, it starts with her presence inside. She changes shot selection just by being there. Teams have to account for her every trip down the floor.
