The Gophers have asked a lot of Heyer this season. The 6-1 junior is doing more guarding on the perimeter while still being a rebounding regular.
Through the first eight games, Heyer, the team’s leading rebounder, had three double-figure rebounding games but had scored in double figures just once, shooting about 35% overall and 24% on threes. On Saturday, her offense looked more familiar.
“I just give credit to my teammates, finding me in the right spot,” she said. “And I feel I was able to get some post touches today, and that opened the floor for outside shooters, too. Overall, I feel we played two really great games and I’m proud of the team.”
