She is a strong, physical outside hitter with an impressive vertical and a powerful arm swing that makes her difficult to defend. One of the things that stands out about Nagel is her ability to adjust to just about any set that comes her way. Whether the ball is tight, off the net, or not quite where she wants it, she has the athleticism and body control to make adjustments and still take an aggressive swing. With 240 kills on the season, averaging 3.4 kills per set, she has proven to be a consistent offensive threat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Hackel is a physical and dynamic attacker who has the ability to terminate from anywhere along the front row. Whether she is attacking from the left, middle, or right, her timing is excellent, allowing her to get up and take aggressive swings from all three positions. She has impressive range and does a great job of seeing the court, whether that means finding the line, attacking an open seam, or placing the ball into an uncovered area of the defense.
