Hansen was everywhere on the court in order to give her players the opportunity to terminate. She jumpsets with ease and sends it quickly to either pin effortlessly. I just love her versatility and how she uses all of her attackers to create an unpredictable offense. Hansen has a great toolbelt when it comes to her setter dumps as well. She also brings a wicked serve to the court and she often goes on big serving runs.
Abel does a great job turning a tight pass into a hittableball. She plays 6 rotations for I AM VBC and is a very capable front row blocker putting quite a few attackers on notice for trying to swing her way. Abel moves the ball around quickly and gets all of her attackers involved. She plays steady defense out of the backrow and reads the play on the other side.
Highlights
Leong is a hustler and she does a great job to get her hands on the 2nd contact as much as possible. I like how quickly she moves the ball from one pin to the other. She jumpsets most balls and doesn’t allow it to dictate where the ball is going.
Highlights
Schroeder moves the ball around the court and makes it look so effortless. I love players that can see things happening in advance and are multiple steps ahead of the game. Schroeder has a very clean touch and release on the ball and she is smart with her ball distribution throughout a match.
Highlights
Pleuss did such a great job of moving the ball around and using the entire length of the net. She is also a very strong defensive player and can run a fast-paced offense. I like the risks she takes and her footwork used to get to the ball.
Latham has always been one of my favorite players to watch. She played for 414 for a few years and landed on Sting 18 White this year. Latham makes some crazy good saves and fun plays that make you not want to loook awy.
Dahlk is quick to get her feet to the ball and she runs a fast pace ball to the outside pin. She moves quickly across the net and will save a tight pass with a well placed one handed set. I really enjoyed watching how Dahlk got all of her hitters involved and strategized to get those one-on-one match-ups.
