Baldock looked composed and consistent in the opening match, providing a reliable presence in serve receive and working hard to keep plays alive defensively. The senior brings high energy to the court and finds ways to contribute in multiple facets of the game. Baldock looks poised for a strong senior season and should be an important piece of Falcon's back row defense throughout the fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":1036789,"_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-6a94c8f0a3c44"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jocelyn Luttman was the steady leader of Falcon's offense, finishing the match with 17 assists. She distributed the ball efficiently to each of her hitters, keeping the offense balanced and consistently putting her attackers in a strong position to score. Luttman also made an impact beyond setting, contributing defensively and adding two aces from behind the service line. Her ability to control the offense while contributing in multiple areas made her an important piece of Falcon's opening sweep.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1000015"],"_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-6a94c8f0a3c68"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Olivia Pitts was a standout offensive presence for Falcon, bringing a powerful swing and the ability to score in a variety of situations. Pitts came out strong with six kills and three blocks while hitting an efficient .250, making an impact on both sides of the net. The junior middle, committed to Mississippi State, plays with a high contact point and physicality that makes her difficult to slow down once she gets going. Pitts will be a key piece for Falcon this season and should continue to be one of their go to offensive options in big moments.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["551485"],"_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-6a94c8f0a3c89"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Alexandra Gomez was a steady all around presence for Falcon, finishing with five kills while hitting .200, adding two service aces and six digs.

She played with control throughout the match, taking care of the ball and finding ways to contribute even when she wasn't the primary offensive option.
