She can pass and support the serve receive phase while able to shuffle or transition well to make herself available to swing. With good lift at the end of her approach footwork, she swings with a high elbow to maximize her contact point with good force. She can play defense by patrolling the court with good purpose from middle back. Her [program_tooltip program_id='431827' first='Elevation' last=''] team will be playing in the 14 Open division at the upcoming GJNC.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["936515"],"_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-69e1733e91d67"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The balance and body position Bowman creates when receiving serve helps her move quickly while maintaining good control of her platform and angles to the point of contact. She is locked in as a passer, which has an impact on the rate of quality that can get her team into system often. On the defensive side, she covers the court with good composure as she can make routine and difficult plays look simple and effortless at times.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["936927"],"_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-69e1733e91dba"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kiger has produced some big moments for her OPVC team this club season, some that can ignite her team's energy and play and bring fans out of their seats. She moves well around her setter to create space for a big approach runway that leads to good [program_tooltip program_id='431827' first='Elevation' last=''] that kickstarts her point scoring. At 5'11, when on time in the air, she can contact high and drive the ball against the blockers with good success. And when she can find some open space she can get the ball to the floor quickly. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["936942"],"_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-69e1733e91e09"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rivera is quick and athletic, using those physical traits well in how she plays the libero role for [program_tooltip program_id='936186' first='CVC' last='']. She is an aggressive and assertive passer in that she pursues the ball in serve receive rather than sitting back and waiting for it to arrive on her platform. This allows her to stay balanced and take that ball at a higher level without letting it lower to the court before contact. On the defensive side, her competitiveness helps her effort to keep the ball off the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["936954"],"_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-69e1733e91e56"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shawger wears the libero jersey for [program_tooltip program_id='431827' first='Elevation' last=''] 14 Case through which she provides key action with her ball control and defense. This team recently earned their 14 Open bid at the Big South NQ, behind efficient passing and some solid offense. Shawger tracks the ball well by moving her feet and stabilizing her platform and angles away from her body. Defensively, she preps well to get stopped and balanced facing the attacker to be able to respond in all directions for good offensive creation.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
