<p class="text-gray-700">This Millikin commit was arguably the most polished libero in the building. Her movement is fluid, and her communication is constant. Hartnady plays with a level of confidence that stabilizes the entire Wisconsin Ice squad. She's the type of leader who never seems rattled.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Myhra stood out for her tactical awareness. She excels at corner coverage, which allows her setter to release early without fear. She was also highly effective at taking the second ball when the setter was forced to make the first contact, delivering hittable sets to her pins.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Smith's game is built on technical precision. She showcased an accurate platform and excellent angles, ensuring that Flight stayed in system even when facing aggressive attackers.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The unsung hero for AVC. By consistently securing the first contact, she enabled AVC to run their middles frequently—a rarity in club ball when the pass isn't perfect. Her ability to handle pace kept her team in every rally.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A huge reason why Southwest's fast offense worked so well was the libero's ability to track the ball. By keeping the team in system, she allowed their dominant middles to stay involved and apply constant pressure on the opposition.</p>
