Bredenberg's reaction time is about as quick as it comes.  She gets her hips under the ball and greats a sound platform that keeps the ball on her side of the net.  The experience and exposure against top attackers early in her career have paid off.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6439d0cb06047"}

at a high level.  Nistor has been on the rise, getting better and better over the past couple years.  Her hard work is paying off and she is starting to shine.  Nistor is a calm player in the back court that keeps things simple with her effort and confidence.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6439d0cb0613e"}

such a smooth confidence and strong platform.  She plays with a grittiness that is a vital characteristic of top defenders.  Defensively, Joesting doesn't shy away from getting a little beat up in
