She is super bouncy and able to reach high, which, in combination with her powerful arm swing, helps her put the ball away frequently. Euhus is also quick and athletic, two important qualities for a middle hitter, and she has gotten a lot more physical and powerful over this past club season. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["268722"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":449036,"_player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eGodard has made a ton of improvement over the past year, and it was exciting to see her play at such an impressive level during the showcase. Godard is not just a skilled and quick attacker, but she also puts up a big block. With fast and agile footwork, Godard is also solid at running a slide. With three more years of school left, Godard will be one to watch.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["268816"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":449034,"_player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eQuiroga is another class of 2026 middle blocker who improved immensely this previous season, and those improvements were on full display during the showcase. Quiroga is a super physical player with a hammer of an arm, and she is not afraid to detonate on the ball. Quiroga is also quick along the net and in transition. She too will be fun to follow over the next few years.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["257582"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":449038,"_player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eSinai is entering only her second year ever playing volleyball, but you wouldn't know that by watching her. After making some unreal improvements over this past year, Sinai was on fire on Saturday, showcasing a fast and explosive approach in combination with a quick arm. Sinai was not just an offensive weapon, but she was also big at the net and put up a solid block. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64d882b552eb6"} /-->
