Her quick lateral shuffle keeps her ready and in position to help her pins. Teiora has high hands and uses her stiff arms to create a wall that is difficult to penetrate. She has a fast reaction time at the net, so if it's an overpass be ready for fire behind the ball because she's likely going to score.
