The contact she makes at the end of her approach pattern can put a lot of force on the ball resulting in the opposing defense being slow to react effectively.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Olivia Howitt</strong><br>Howitt is a 2029 pin that can play the full rotation with her platform skills and her arm.

Defensively, she is an aggressive blocker with good mechanics to get up, fill space, or take care of any tight balls in the plane. Offensively, she provides good presence to run quick routes that helps balance what they can do at the pins.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Lucia Mescher</strong><br>Mescher can make contributions for her team in a variety of ways.
