<p class="text-gray-700">Roberts plays with passion and fire for RVC 15 Trent. She energizes her team with big kills from the right side and makes excellent choices when in the setter position. Roberts has strong hands that help her in all phases- she can push the ball to the pin and is a solid blocker in the front row. She has the vision of the block to work the ball to the corner or down the line, and is always ready in transition, calling for the set. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Walcott is a long, lean, and skilled prospect. She is confident when hammering a rocket out of the back row and is willing to attack the block and power through it for a kill. The Issaquah freshman is playing six rotations for Sudden Impact and is holding up well defensively and in serve receive. Walcott has the frame to keep adding strength; she is one to watch moving forward. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Eggleston has outstanding size for a six-rotation outside, and the Union standout played a clean match against SIVBC 15 on day two of the PNQ. The Aspire NW prospect has solid hand contact and a high attack point; she sees the block well and knows how to find open spots on the court for a kill. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Gao and her Sudden Impact Thunder team finished 2-5 overall in the challenging Open Division, battling hard in a loaded day two pool after a 2-1 record on day one. The Lakeside sophomore was playing in a dual libero lineup with [player_tooltip player_id='450287' first='Kenzie' last='Bentosino'] versus RVC 16 Allen, and her on-point passing in serve receive helped Sudden Impact chalk up a solid 2-0 win. Gao has a positive word for her teammates whenever she is on the floor and is always willing to get on the ground and dig out a dig or cover for her squad.</p>

<p>The Meridian freshman was dealing on day two of the PNQ versus 1United 15 National. Short plays with physicality and athleticism on the pin, she can rise up and wipe a tight set off a defender's block or cut a super sharp angle swing to the 10-foot line. The 2028 prospect was taking big rips out of system against a formidable blocking team, and worked hard in serve receive and in the middle back. Short found high hands and the edge of the block to score, and played fearlessly in a tight 1-set to 2 defeat. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Cullings has been a consistent scorer for her CPA Drew 15 team this club season. She has a strong arm on the outside, is accurate to the seams, and rips it down the line. A 2028 Ridgeline prospect, Cullings has excellent size and a strong frame. Her powerful swing is a terrific option anytime her squad needs a kill. </p>
