COACH MOORE'S TAKE:
"Laci does a lot of things well that lead to winning. She's a knock-down shooter from three-point range who also has the toughness to score in traffic. She has the handles to push tempo and set up her teammates and the competitive spirit to be a lock-down defender. Laci has the heart of a champion, validated with a state championship as well."
