[player_tooltip player_id='151958' first='Allie' last='Barrick'] - [program_tooltip program_id='431827' first='[program_tooltip program_id='431827' first='Elevation' last='']' last=''] 16 Goller (*pictured) One of the key offensive elements from this team, Barrick gets her fair share of offensive opportunities from both the left pin and out of the back row. She is an aggressive attacker that can generate good power with her arm. Barrick and her team should be one of the favorites to earn a bid in Chicago among teams competing that have yet to secure an open-level opportunity.   [player_tooltip player_id='152062' first='Kaylie' last='McIntosh'] - OPVC 16 Robinson McIntosh is a 10'0 touch prospect with great length at 6'2 and the ability to contact at a high point. One of the best at her position in the greater Cincy area, she has the ability to be the best point scorer on the floor in most matches. She has a high ceiling and it will be fun to see her and her team compete against an elite field.   [player_tooltip player_id='176087' first='Katie' last='Gielas'] - [program_tooltip program_id='431827' first='[program_tooltip program_id='431827' first='Elevation' last='']' last=''] 16 Goller Gielas is a noticeable athlete with her size and mobility as a left side attacker. She can contribute through all six rotations as she is a capable point scorer at the pin and out of the back row. Her contact point and range are areas in which she continues to improve and at 6'2 she has the ability to get up and over defenders. Her production and efficiency levels this weekend will be key to their success.   [player_tooltip player_id='151970' first='Dylan' last='Hunt'] - Mintonette m.61 Hunt continues to increase her impact and has become a key factor for this team with her ability to score as well as pass and defend. She can terminate through a variety of attack points including at both pins and develops good arm control in the air to swing for power or placement based on what she sees from the defense.   [player_tooltip player_id='152057' first='Alyse' last='Smith'] - [program_tooltip program_id='431827' first='[program_tooltip program_id='431827' first='Elevation' last='']' last=''] 16 Chicas Smith has good all-around skills. She is only 5'7, which is undersized by most standards for outside hitters, but she is effective. She has a nice arm and can swing with good movement and placement. Her ability to pass and defend expand her range of contributions as well.
