The American has lifted her form in recent weeks, tallying 46-points in her last two outings to help compensate for the loss of injured import Chanise Jenkins.
Hackmann told The Courier she's accustomed to being in situations where she needs to be a leader both on and off the floor.
"I think with having the experience of playing in college I have to step up my role with (Chanise Jenkins) being out and lead the team," she said.
Hackmann said she was feeling confident on the offensive end where she's been enjoying a hot streak of late, but said there were still mistakes she needed to grow from.
The Southeast Missouri State graduate said the team needs to improve defensively and stay composed down the end of close games.
