She recently surpassed 1,000 points and averages 21.8 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 4.9 steals per game. She has been as high as 11th in the state in scoring and made the first cut of Miss Minnesota Basketball.

Coach Thiesse's comments: "We are thrilled to add Hannah Herzig to our outstanding 2022 recruiting class. This group of players bring unique strengths that complement each other very well. Hannah brings great length and versatility in the guard spot which is a perfect fit with our up-tempo style and pressure defense. She creates steals and deflections on the ball and offensively is a three-dimensional scorer that can stretch the floor, create off the dribble, and finish inside using her size. The future of Maverick basketball is very bright with the addition of these six players."
