Another Circle City product, Maddy stood out on Sunday as a well-rounded player. Daeger spreads the ball around the court effectively, using a clean release to put her teammates in good positions. A high IQ player, she anticipated well at the net and kept the defense guessing. Maddy’s advanced feel for the game and athleticism make her a name to monitor as an incoming freshman at perennial powerhouse Roncalli.

I thought Daeger did a good job throughout the showcase. She showcased good hands with a clean release while effectively moving the ball around the court. One thing that stood out was her willingness to adjust when a hitter struggled to score. She figured out if they needed it higher or faster and delivered. She is definitely a competitor. When given the opportunity, she will take a big swing herself which often caught the defense off guard. Her competitiveness and ability to adjust made her a fun setter to watch.
