She moves well along the net and does a good job staying available in transition, especially when the offense is pushed out of system. Berkley's approach is controlled, and she's becoming more confident attacking different zones. As she continues to develop, refining her shot selection and increasing her terminal efficiency will make her a true matchup problem across the front row. <strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["744842"],"_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-695d33d615311"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='744842' first='Bella' last='Herzog'] is a player to watch closely this club season, especially with the technical growth she's shown at the net.

Bella shows discipline in her movement and timing, which translates to reliable execution.

Morgan's composure has improved, and she's starting to play with more confidence in her swing.
