Not only does she find her hitters well, but she is solid on defense and has a wicked float serve. If your team is looking for a great all-around player, don't miss your chance to snag her! She is a huge reason for her team's success and will undoubtedly lead them to many victories at Nationals.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["122581"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"This rightside hitter has a heavy arm, but maintains great control of her swings.

She's beyond scrappy on defense; I never saw a volleyball drop in her vicinity! She communicates well with her fellow defenders and blockers, giving her teammates the opportunity to see the game better. When she's back at the line to serve, you can see the confidence flowing as she contacts the ball, not uncommonly followed by the excitement of an ace.

It's evident that her competitiveness drives her in each play, especially as I watched her dig a short tip to the middle of the court from the middle back position.
