For this Circle City squad, she's a huge piece to the puzzle and her versatility does wonders in crunch time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='226911' first='Riley' last='Pilat'] - 5'11 OH - Michigan Elite</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's hard to say where we will see Pilat play this weekend, but wherever it is, she's rock solid. Throw her on the pins or put her in the middle, Pilat knows how to put a ball away!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='226899' first='Cree' last='Hollier'] - 5'8 MB - Michigan Elite</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the most intriguing players in the field, Hollier may be small but her hops make her pretty mighty! Along with some impressive jumping abilities, Hollier's fast twitched nature takes her team a long way!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='226875' first='Ella' last='Andrews'] - 6'3 MB - Legacy</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>From 5'8 to 6'3. Andrews is a total powerhouse in the middle! A part of one of the top 1-2 punches in the 15s division, she's a lot of fun to see live in action. At such a young age, Andrews is a superb blocker with a lot of range in her attacking as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='473954' first='Ava' last='Barnes'] - 5'9 S - Legacy</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The fun thing about Can Am is the mix of ages and divisions on tap. Barnes is another player from the Legacy cannon, running the offense for the 15-2s crew. Barnes is a consistent player that can throw up a really nice ball in transition and off the net.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
