2026
Enters the GA National Playoffs in fine form, having once again led Muskego high school to their third consecutive State High School Championship (they have won the last two and are vying for their third this week). That level of experience in playing high pressure situations and thriving has molded Maurer into a dominant defender and an asset for both her high school and the Wave. While she can certainly make difficult clears in tight situations, she has proven that she can help build possession out of the back with her passing and work in the air.
