Postseason Setter/Middle Combos To Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Setters and their middles have to be on the same wavelength and borderline telepathic with one another.&nbsp; This is created a lot of repetition and a trust that both will do their job correctly. These duos become dynamic when they know exactly what the other will do in certain situation.&nbsp; They almost develop their own unwritten language. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is created by many failed attempts and trial and error followed by effective communication.  And when they click it's magical!   When a setter and middle connect, they give their team a huge advantage, especially in system.  Here are a few combinations that you need to watch during playoffs!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='91893' first='Alexis' last='Kammerer'] --></strong><strong> [player_tooltip player_id='91891' first='Abbie' last='Dix']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>Brodhead</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kammerer and Dix together generate a lot of fire and energy and they are super steady and efficient in their play.&nbsp; Kammerer just knows how to find Dix along the net even when she is pulled off or they are running a fast set into the gap. &nbsp;Dix is active and runs a number of routes to keep opponents on their toes.&nbsp; Both are uncommitted seniors so far.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='122481' first='Ava' last='Dean'] --></strong><strong> [player_tooltip player_id='91899' first='Gwen' last='Crull']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>McFarland</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Crull has the ability to make most setters look good but Dean doesn't need help with that, so they operate like a well-oiled machine.&nbsp; There is definitely a certain level of trust that has to occur for most middle attacks because the timing and placement are so crucial there is little room for error.&nbsp; When they click it is fire!&nbsp; Dean has another year left after this, but Crull will be heading to Bowling Green next fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='236601' first='Gabriella' last='Pecore'] &amp; [player_tooltip player_id='236602' first='Addison' last='McElhone'] --></strong><strong> [player_tooltip player_id='221454' first='Sydney' last='Smith'] &amp; [player_tooltip player_id='236600' first='Shelby' last='Perron']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>Unity</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This group has been flying under the radar.&nbsp; Smith and Perron are in their Senior season and their connection with their sophomore seasons has proved crucial in their success this season.&nbsp; Smith is a smart attacker who knows right where to find the open floor and finds the sharp angles. Perron runs different tempos but works to be available in almost every transition with a fast arm swing.&nbsp; Both setters are athletic and know how to feed these hitters making this Unity squad tough to stop.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='119404' first='Mackenzie' last='Scholz'] --></strong><strong> [player_tooltip player_id='91911' first='Meghan' last='Scholz']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>Tomahawk</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These two have been a staple for Tomahawk over the past 4 years.&nbsp; With DePaul commit, Meghan Tomahawk has been hard to stop. Mackenzie has entered her senior season operating with the next level confidence and it makes her really fun to watch.&nbsp; Their connection is fluid and Mackenzie gives Meghan a lot of great options to work both angles.&nbsp; The Scholz twins are the X-Factor this season and lead the Hatchets to a Great Northern Conference title.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
