UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - There aren't many defenses that can stop Maggie Lucas from scoring, but when the Penn State women's basketball senior was asked how she would describe her game on the court, it was as if she was playing 1-on-5.
"I don't know," said Lucas. "I have no idea."
Knowing Lucas, she would find a way to score if faced with the abovementioned task, but in this case we asked her teammates and coaches to describe the senior's game and got a variety of responses.
Adjectives like dedicated, fiery, intelligent and passionate, but one word that stood out above all: competitive.
On the court, Lucas' competitiveness has been a big reason that Penn State has ascended to its current heights, but she won't take any credit for that. She just flashes a smile and shrugs her shoulders. A far cry from the arm waving protagonist that took the court vs. Florida in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Tuesday inside the Bryce Jordan Center.
