Playing up a grade, she was the lone junior on OJVA 18-1 Gold and was instrumental in their #2 finish in Open. Standing at 6'1”, she is long, with a high reach on the ball and a whip of an arm. She proves terminal from either pin. She puts up a big block with a major reach over the net. She is also an exceptional defender, with a great read on the attack and a quick reaction time.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64650b1624415"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["393762"],"_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":"Fairbain's offensive power has been critical in the Webfoot 18-1's success this season.

She showcases a lot of range when attacking and is smart about which swing and shot to use.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64650b1624490"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["126188"],"_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":"Friesen has been an all-around asset for the NPJ 17-1 team. New to this group, she has made an immediate and lasting impact. Although a little undersized, standing at 5'8”, she is explosive with a massive vertical jump. Coupled with a fast arm swing, she absolutely unloads on the ball. Her ball control abilities are exceptional. She shines across the backrow and is a commanding presence on defense.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64650b1624507"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["143666"],"_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":"Gould is a talented attacker who has shown considerable improvement this club season with NPJ 18 Forefront. Although court time was limited at Regionals, playing behind some phenomenal 2023 pin hitters, she took advantage of the time she did get. A leftie, she shines on the right side. With a high vertical jump and an explosive approach, she is able to obliterate at all the angles.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64650b162457c"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["126031"],"_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":"Heytvelt has transitioned to the right side this season with OJVA 17-1 Gold and has proved indispensable to this team, both offensively and defensively.

Creating a wall, she shut down even the toughest of opponents over Regionals.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64650b16245e9"} /-->
