Pagel is a junior who is just getting better and better as she gets more comfortable in the offense that they run. It has been a bit of an adjustment, but the junior is handling it well.
“So far its been a challenge playing with some new teammates and adjusting from getting double and triple teamed,” Pagel said. “I have been able to make the adjustments and we have seen improvements and implemented and new offense to create more space.”
Pagel is a player who can carve out space on the block with relative ease and she is able to receive the ball pretty well in position to score. Pretty fluid with her moves already but is getting a lot better with them as the year goes on. She is also improving her ability to knock down jump shots, something that will really enhance her game. Pagel’s ability to make shots on the interior right now is what the colleges are loving to see.
Pagel has already taken a game day visit to Drake, Minnesota State Mankato and Minnesota Duluth but has no others planned in the future. She is concentrating on getting the season over with before she worries about other visits. Pagel really enjoyed the visit to Drake earlier this year.
“I love the atmosphere at Drake and their style of play,” Pagel said. “Their coaching staff is outstanding and you can tell their players are willing to work hard and put the time and effort in.”
During the summer she will run with Team Iowa, but first she is looking to take care of business for her high school team.
“Team goals are to win our conference and make it to state,” Pagel said. “My personal goals are last year I averaged sixteen points per game and nine rebounds per game and this year is to average more points and rebounds and to make all state.”
Pagel is one of those players that you’ll need to keep an eye on this year since she is such an avid rebounder and scorer. The Sumner-Fredericksburg product is a center who is going to be pretty sought after at the next level with her ability to command the paint down low.
