<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With several Ohio teams securing their opportunity to the upcoming GJNC, many will be previewed over the coming weeks as we move towards the conclusion of the club season and the biggest stage in the game. First up: <strong><em>ECV 16.1 N.</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Qualifying for the 16 American division, this team finished third in the Ohio Valley Region bid tournament just missing out on one of two 16 National level bids. They feature some of the of the best talent in the greater Cleveland areas in the class of 2025. Here are some of those prospects:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='151989' first='Sofia' last='Smotek']</strong><br>Smotek is a high volume option for this team's offense as she can score at the pin and out of the back row. The six rotation prospect has some veteran experience as a high impact contributor from the start of her prep career. Some of her best action is in the serve receive phase as she has good patience and reaction and finishes with solid platform preparation and angles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='198240' first='Cara' last='Riley']</strong> (*pictured)<br>A DS/Libero role player, Riley provides good stability in the serve receive and defensive aspects. At 5'4, she creates good opportunities for herself with balance and first step pursuit that helps her cover a good range of the court. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='151988' first='Ella' last='Jackson']</strong><br>Jackson has been in the game at a high level from the start of her prep career as she has a lot of experience leading quality teams as the primary distributor. She plays with ease and confidence that is displayed in her setting mechanics and ability to locate the ball through all zones with good consistency when in the pocket and on the move.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Olivia Myers</strong><br>On the right side, Myers helps provide good balance to their offense. As she continues to improve the quality of her presence and contact at the right pin at the end of her approach work, she should increasingly be able to score points with her arm.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='184289' first='Elsa' last='Nard']</strong><br>The 5'8 outside hitter contributes well for this team as as six rotation option. She can score by moving the ball around at the top of her approach work. Defensively, she pursues the ball well with good range to create good opportunities for her team's offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
