She is part of a talented NPJ Seattle 17 National team that is seeded 2nd overall at the NWPL. Skagen has an urgent transition when she gets outside, she gives her setter a nice window to work with and she can bang the ball off the block or make the defense scramble with well placed off-speed shots. She is a six-rotation player with a well developed skill set in serve receive and the backrow.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-652f2d3eabfcd"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://youtu.be/Ji6xzZHdr1g?si=KN7pthv60FYLnXEI","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://youtu.be/Ji6xzZHdr1g?si=KN7pthv60FYLnXEI </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["505570"],"_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":"Musser was a part of an excellent Ellensburg team during the high school season, and the 5'11 outside contributed to the Bulldogs success down the stretch and into the State Tournament. Her No Limits 17-1 squad is seeded 7th overall, and will have to work hard to hold it against a field of 55 teams in the 15-18 age bracket. Musser will switch up her offensive shots, mixing in swing to the angle and the line with a very soft top she drops straight over the block. When she is in the middle back she can deliver from the pipe, giving the No Limits setters another attacking option.","_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":["359935"],"_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":"Salinger plays for the WVBA 18 Adidas team that comes into the NWPL ranked first overall.

The future Torero has strong hands and is deceptive in her delivery- she holds blockers and delivers to her attackers with tremendous accuracy and tempo. Munday has the size and athleticism to play the 5-1, she will deliver a big block and stuff down a joust at the net. Make the effort to watch Munday and the Renovators 18 Kari team play if you are in Auburn this weekend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
