Massie's ball handling was impeccable, prompting her to tally 45 assists, her second-best mark in the year. The setter also came up big at the net, producing a season-high seven blocks and five kills. Massie rounded up a fantastic performance with 14 digs.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-64bdfc891f947"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["87549"],"_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_0_evaluation":"Not many people expected Tuesday's match between Tompkins and Ridge Point to end in three sets but it did, in great part, thanks to Tchouangwa. Tompkins' athletic right side hitter was on fire and produced an impressive triple-double of 21 kills, 20 passes and 17 digs. Perhaps more important than the stats, however, was the timing of some of her plays as she played a key role in the Falcons' comebacks on sets one and two.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-64bdfc891f96d"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://x.com/grtorres/status/1590146735313420288?s=20u0026t=1UuAopH_4z-Sa7DKXYcL5g","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/grtorres/status/1590146735313420288?s=20&amp;t=1UuAopH_4z-Sa7DKXYcL5g </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["216322"],"_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_0_evaluation":"Another player to contribute across the board for her team's victory, Joseph helped Harlan top Warren in four sets on Tuesday.
