The outside hitter was unstoppable at the pin and simply used her physical advantage to overpower the opposing blockers most of the time. Jordan had tremendous success hitting line over the top of Lamar's shorter blockers. She left the court with a match-high 14 kills, which were enough to help her surpass 1,000 for her career, and three blocks.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://x.com/grtorres/status/1588669217720893440?s=20u0026t=bzdkJKhsbHRvPpLSCMT8qw","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/grtorres/status/1588669217720893440?s=20&amp;t=bzdkJKhsbHRvPpLSCMT8qw </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6365ca1ed5c82","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["179904"],"_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":"Manvel's talented setter helped make the match easy for her team with her intelligent and effective ball distribution.
