| Thoughts from Stefanie Pemper | We are lucky to have Sara back for year three. She has had a great presence on our team as someone who dreamt of coming to the USNA regardless of basketball, someone who will climb really tall mountains and jump out of planes, and someone who's handled limited playing time with class. Sara has had her best fall to date and if she's going to earn minutes it will be as a great shooter, a kid who moves off the ball well and a sneaky smart defender. | Hannah is like Justice Swett and Haley Unger in that their stats don't always jump off the page at you, however, all three make small plays and huge plays to get our team wins. Hannah is a heady point guard and a good communicator who has worked hard to improve her abilities to score and make the defense have to guard her. Multiple times last year I started to tell her to do something and she had just started to do something different and it was successful. She's a competitor who keeps a level head and that is a fantastic combination. |
