The Lance McGloughlin Trophy for Female Junior Player of the Year is awarded to Hannah Mischewski.
2021 was the first year that Hannah Mischewski had played representative basketball and she made a pretty good fist of it.
In April she helped the University of Canterbury lift the Tertiary 3X3 title – she also won the Individual Shoot-out at the tournament in Wellington. Named to the Tournament Team she was a major player as Canterbury progressed all the way to the U19 Women’s Championship Grand Final. The point guard scored 12 points in the Grand Final loss to Waikato, the day after amassing 32 points in the semi-final victory against Taranaki.
She also made her NBL debut, the 18 year-old scoring 15 points against Auckland Dream as the Canterbury Wildcats made a 2-0 start to the season before Covid closed down the league after just one week of the competition.
Hannah is a crafty playmaking guard that can get to the rim at will, playing with a high level of skill, flair and speed. Though diminutive in stature, this does not hinder her ability to score under pressure with a variety of finishes.
