Cyr continues to emerge as one of the more powerful middles in this class as she has great strength accompanied by good arm speed through her swing. She works hard to make herself available, which is a big factor for this group to keep her involved as she can score in addition to simply commanding attention from the opposing defense that creates space for pin hitters to work. An area for improvement that will increase her effectiveness and efficiency is deliberate attention to getting taller in the air upon lift by getting her left arm up and out in front. This will add to her overall elevation and create more balance that will allow for more range in her arm control

Lile is steadily improving her skill set and overall impact as a libero. She is developing a great mindset of patience to let the play develop and then reacting appropriately without overthinking or over anticipating the opponent. Her movements look more and more fluid that begin with a good base and mindful preparation during play. She is helping this SMV squad compete at a good rate of efficiency as a result of her first-contact work.

Reines can terminate. She is used frequently on both pins and is equally effective on both sides of the court. In playing opposite primarily she also puts up a sizable block through a quick move and good seal at the net. She shows good footwork in her approach patterns, especially in her last two steps to close to the ball that allows her to maximize her lift and contact point. She creates good torque and has nice arm control to be able to sustain pace through various shots. She is athletic and shows great potential to rise as a key factor among the 2022 prospect rankings going forward.

Winchell shows ability to distribute in all directions and with good force when pulled to the right side to locate the ball to the opposite pin and against flow. She provides good direction and leadership to her team that has been showing good competitive potential thus far. As she gains experience, her opportunities to improve include attention to developing more deliberate movement patterns to pursue the ball with greater efficiency in her footwork that will get her into position quicker and make more consistent her contact through all offensive options.
