Comments: "Sarah Peterson is the best defensive player I've ever coached, and we've had some good ones. Sarah uses her length and reach to her advantage, and consistently creates headaches for opposing offenses. Her 5 steals per game average cannot account for all of the altered/tipped passes and challenged shots she creates. Sarah's defense earned her a 3rd team spot on the St. Paul Pioneer Press' All-Metro Defensive team as a sophomore. Sarah was also our leading rebounder this season."

Comments: "Sarah amazes me every time she steps on the floor with her ability to get a hand on anything defensively. She has the strength and length to defend the post, but also has the quickness to be all over the floor trapping. Her ability to tip passes has led to many easy baskets. She also does a great job boxing out and running the floor. Offensively Sarah can consistently knock down a 15 foot jump shot or face up and attack opposing post players."
