Although every athlete on our team takes great pride in playing incredible in-your-face defense, in many ways Hannah is the tenacious heart of the Lady Lion's defensive pressure... the quintessential defensive player. Unselfish and unsung. Responsible and relentless.
Her job is to energize her teammates defensive effort through her relentless pressure and to frustrate the other team’s point guard or best player, and not let her man do what she came into the game expecting to do.
Anybody can learn how to play decent defense, but being a defensive “stopper” is what sets you apart from the other athletes. If we can force our opponents main scorer or primary ball handler into situations they do not feel comfortable with, that takes the other team out of their offensive rhythm and gives us an advantage.
