Mertens is already staking her claim as one of Nebraska’s top defenders in the Class of 2029. Her quick first steps along the end line have become a hallmark of Premier Nebraska 15 Gold’s scrappy, game-changing floor defense. Triple Crown NIT offered an invaluable testament to Mertens’ skill in the contrasting jersey. Aside from her ability to read opposing attackers, Mertens can anchor any passing formation and has upgraded 15 Gold’s first-ball operations. The Open-level grind beckons.
