<p>The best attackers aren't limited to one swing or one spot on the floor. Great teams have versatile hitters who can move around on offense and provide different options for the setters. So far this season, these five hitters have shown different ways to create points, whether that's attacking with power, finding open court, using the block or terminating out-of-system balls. Their versatility makes them difficult to defend and gives their teams options when they need a point.<br></p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='766939' first='Harlow' last='Brown'] brings power to Lincoln Christian from both pins.

Hailey recorded several aces, including a well-placed serve that dropped directly into the seam. On the front row, she scored with hard attacks and controlled off-speed shots. Her block also funneled balls toward Metro's back-row defenders.</p>
