Ritter uses her height to her advantage putting her hands in good position evidenced by a team-high 48 solo blocks in addition to 17 assisted. Her net presence makes opponents think coaxing a lot of net hits. Ritter follows through well when she receives clean sets and uses her size to hit over blockers.

Armstrong also covers well in case of blocks by opponents. Keeps balls a number of balls in play through her hustle. Armstrong contributed to a balanced Beechwood attack with 185 kills, 42 assisted blocks and nine solo blocks.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["456668"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Estep did a great job setting the ball to the right positions for Beechwood this past fall and continues to do so for 15-2 Tide. Estep can hit a back set and even cross one to the opposite pin in addition to effectively setting the middle. Estep also does a great job directing her jump serve into open spots on the court.

Lewandowski emerged as a hitting threat for the Tigers this past season. Lewandowski can redirect the ball from the pin to the middle of the floor well. Her hits are hard to dig up when she hits her spots. Lewandowski uses her size well to time shots and block them.

Her time will come on varsity. It's just a matter of when because she has nice size. Kondik sees the floor well from the middle and pins and figures out where to put the ball. She can hit around and off blocks. Kondik also makes nice passes and hustles to balls on defense.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65dc04b1012a7"} /-->
