She has excellent range on her offense and tremendous firepower, but has matured enough to know exactly when to turn to tips or finesse plays. Muoneke is very versatile offensively and has excellent decision-making, using her endless possibilities to her advantage. Very solid with her passing, she also has two interesting alternatives from the service line with a floater and a top spin jumpserve.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"id":"block_6345719b6121b","name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15091106/63445202c124290a7817b08d' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_634571a06121c","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["179890"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Playing outside hitter alongside Muoneke, Porter guarantees Cy Ranch will have an elite offensive player at the net. Very long and athletic, she's an excellent hitter and uses her tremendous vertical and impressive body control to her advantage on offense. Porter is powerful, technical and, most important, makes great decisions. Also capable of playing on the right, she's very consistent with her passing and has good instincts and good reactions on defense.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"id":"block_634572976121d","name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15464787/633def92066c130cfc0abaad' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6345729e6121e","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["87560"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"After several years standing out as an elite libero, Kliafas transitioned to setter this season to fill a position of need for the Mustangs. She runs a fast-paced offense with the team as much as possible, but is very accurate with her locations. Her 5'10u0022 frame and her body control also help her deal with passes too tight to the net. Versatile, Kliafas takes up hitting duties at the net and has manged to score at a very good rate. Needless to say, she's also an outstanding defender.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"id":"block_6345743c6121f","name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/13491087/6331c1ffc11b420e44913733' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6345746d61220","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["99590"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"A transfer from Indiana, Henderson strengthened Cy Ranch in the middle this season.
