I’m really looking forward to seeing Dienst back on the court for Bethlehem Academy this fall. In their 6-2 offense, she’ll likely be back in be in a role where she sets half of the time and also takes big swings from the pin, which really speaks to her versatility. Last year she racked up 320 assists as well as 142 kills for her team. What I like most about Dienst is that she plays with a lot of energy and emotion, competes hard on every play, and has grown into a true leader. This offseason, she’s been playing with M1 out of the Cities, where she continued to increase her game IQ, skill, and confidence. With her ability to impact the game in multiple ways, I think she is a player who could really stand out in Class 1A this fall.
