This team is stacked with 2024 gems, and Bruning is one of those who played a key part in the Orlando triumph. The small-town star brought a mixture of deception and precision that was hard for opposing defenses to counter. Her back sets were money from beginning to end.

Big stages have been Hagedorn's place to shine, with the Show Me Qualifier and AAU Nationals being two prime examples. She's a crafty outside hitter who can find seams in the block or use those opposing hands to her advantage. Of course, Hagedorn's all-around prowess makes her a six-rotation mainstay that 17 Black has leaned on throughout 2023.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["187806"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Olds is the kind of middle that puts incredible stress on the other side of the net.
