Have to have great elavation and speed to outwit a tall shooter. stay off the shooter and look for those quick lobs into the circle.she would probably stay close to the baseline for the lob and shoot. so keep her off her comfort area and try and push her away from the goal post to force her to shoot further distance. that would be my advice. i hope this is ok advice.
