With a 5th place finish in the 14 National Ohio Valley Region bid tournament back in April, they earned their qualification into the 14 American division at the upcoming USAV GJNC in Dallas. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>They will open the event seeded #11 overall (among 64 teams) and as the 2nd seed in Pool 5 (among eight total pools). Here are some of their key athletes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["779129"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-685827379d12e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hutcheison is one that helps make this team go. The primary setter, she is developing into a reliable distributor with her athleticism, contact skills, and location. Where she's at now creates a promising prep career ahead as the high school is up next for her at which she will train and compete for a great program at Anthony Wayne.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["785801"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-685827379d1d3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Some of this team's best offensive presence is in between the pins as Dishong can provide some key offensive moments through quick options around her setter. She creates good space in her transition work and as an impressive ability to swing with good control towards the edges of the defense at the net.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[951534],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-685827379d242"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I like what Lotycz brings to the floor in the libero jersey. She competes well and commands the first-touch aspect well through a good skill set. She pursues the ball well with good reaction and quickness, which makes a difference in getting more options available in their offense more often.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["779026"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-685827379d293"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pierce is a well-rounded athlete and provides some big offense for this team. With a quality corps of attackers, primarily an opposite attacker, she can bring some big swings from either pin to help balance their point scoring across the net. She gets her feet to the ball well and can swing with good pace and movement when on balance and time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["785803"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-685827379d2f9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Betts is a good six-rotation type of prospect that helps lead their offense from the left side of the court. She has good control of her arm to make smart shots, but when on time with her last two steps to the ball she can swing aggressively to apply more power. She also contributes to their ball control and can effectively swing from the back row if needed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Additional athletes that have made contributions to this team's success include: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Bryan Koval, Leilani-Rose Nicholas-Bublick, [player_tooltip player_id='771896' first='Hollie' last='Pedersen'], and [player_tooltip player_id='785802' first='Abigail' last='Repp']. </strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
