Coach Sinn's Comments:
A quick and energetic point guard who commands the court and has an incredible ability to read the defense. She is a playmaker who handles the ball with confidence and is able to finish at any range. Her knowledge of the game, presence on the court, and athleticism will continue to be a major contributing factor in our success. She is has a great team player mentality, has excellent leadership skills, and is able to set the pace of the game. On defense, her quick hands and athleticism continually cause turnovers which she is quick to convert onto the scoreboard. She is a returning sophomore who averaged 7.6 points and started in 11 of 26 varsity games last season as a freshman. She was a ‘08 grad from St. Cloud Tech where she was captain, all-conference, and all-state in Basketball and Soccer. Her parents are Nadine and Tom Sears.
