Sophomore Libby Hoffman dribbles past a Lincoln east defender. Hoffman had six points, as well as one assist throughout the game. “I've been successful scoring the ball this season because my teammates are always able to find me when I'm open, which allows me to get more shots up to score,” Hoffman said. “I've also spent a lot of time outside of practice trying to perfect my shot to make it more accurate.”

One of the main reasons the Wildcats have been able to improve their ball movement is through communication with one another. Throughout the season, the team has bonded more which has led to a more dependent game for the players. “Going into the game I feel we trusted each other more and that led to smarter decisions,” sophomore Makenna Scholting said. “Throughout our season we have all got to know each other a little better on a friendship level, and that definitely helps our gameplay.”
