Edit-
A couple more things I may have found on her-

• I saw one tweet referring to her as the "left handed assassin", so assume she may be a lefty.?.
• Per a roster from her freshman year (https://dmwolves.com/teams/1996767/girls/basketball/varsity/roster), she was only 5'6" tall then, so she looks to have had a pretty big growth spurt during her high school years.

She is a lefty. Here are some highlights. Her range appears to be beyond NBA three point land.

BOULDER—Colorado women's basketball head coach JR Payne announced the addition of Sophie Gerber, a preferred walk on to the 2020-21 roster on Friday.

Gerber, a 6-foot, from Scottsdale, Ariz., will join the Buffs in the fall after a standout career at Desert Mountain High School.

"Sophie can flat out shoot it," Payne commented. "She is a lefty and was actually able to come to some of our games at the end of the year in Los Angeles when we were not shooting the ball very well. After every game she kind of had that look in her eye like, 'Coach, it's ok. I'm coming.' She's a great young lady and will be a terrific part of our team."

Gerber averaged 15.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game as a senior last season. She also was strong on defense with 1.4 steals and 1.3 blocks per game. The shooting guard finished the year shooting 46 percent from the field and set a school record with a 41-point game in December.
