She was running her middles very well and that facilitated her entire offense, giving her pin hitters more room to operate.

I watched her in action in a particularly difficult match against PVA 17-B, in which the team's passing was a bit of an issue, and was impressed with how well she was able to run the team's offense in that situation as she had to run a simpler offense, but remained very accurate.
