Kurth was doing a nice job of utilizing her pins when out of system. She has a strong cadre of pins to work with and she always seems to have a lethal option waiting for her. Kurth was running a 5-1 and did a great job with one hand on some tight passes as well as keeping the block locked on her by making herself a weapon at times. When called on to take the 3rd contact she made smart choices to help her team score. She wasn’t hesitating to make the big defensive play when an opposing attacker came at her. Kurth had some really big blocks and monster digs when her team needed them.
Highlights
Hirschfeld was doing a great job of moving the ball around to all of her different weapons. She consistently jumpsets and speeds up the tempo making the opposing block really work. Hirschfeld sees the other side of the court well and isn’t afraid to expose the open court on her own.
Misegades was playing a big game up at the net. She runs the offense without hesitation and handles anything tight with a smart decision. Misegades consistently jump sets and puts up a solid block.
Schulz runs a 5-1 for Kandi Elite like a boss. She really commands the court and her offense. Schulz doesn’t let balls die inside and she isn’t afraid to call her own number. She makes a well timed dump right into the middle of a scramble on the other side.
Highlights
Rossum runs an efficient offense that include her own well-timed and well placed setter dump. She has length and a high reach that she utilizes to jump set and move the ball around quickly. Rossum is also a scrappy defender in the back row and she made some really big plays in their gold pool matches. She does a great job playing tight balls at the net.
Highlights
Abbi Fulwider
Abbi Fulwider
I really liked the versatility of Fulwider. She was a 6 rotation player that really didn’t quit on the play. Fulwider did a really nice job not only getting her feet to the ball when she was setting but she knew how to take an aggressive approach as well.
Clark showed her athleticism as soon as she stepped on the court. She jump sets everything she gets her hands on and easily moves the ball from pin to pin. Clark also provides a strong attacking option and isn’t afraid to fight for the point at the net.
