River View has a hold on first place in the EWAC East Conference, Koch brings intensity and competitiveness to the court and has the confidence to take a big swing as a sophomore. Playing alongside attackers u003cstrongu003eMarina Jimenezu003c/strongu003e and u003cstrongu003eAliyah Maloneu003c/strongu003e, Koch give the Panthers a front line that can score and works hard on the block.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-652f2d3eac023"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["468577"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Mathison has the hang time to adjust to a set anywhere along the net, and the senior has grown her game to take advantage of soft tips and off-speed shots this season. Her ability to go up and rip a swing down the line or through the block has been difficult for Trico 1A opponents to handle, and she wants to take big swings with a match on the line. The Knights are loaded with upperclassmen, 11 total seniors and juniors combined- look for this tough squad to make a playoff run with Mathison leading the way.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-652f2d3eac069"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/20338605/651d6d5a32e6ee0b2001a995' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-653171e655115"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["468570"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Niewiadomski plays a solid all around game from her outside hitter spot. and Sehome leans on the sophomore outside in big moments.
