A six-footer, she has great length and uses it extremely well on offense, expanding her range by making contact with the ball at a very high point.

She's also very intelligent with her decision-making and often picks the right option, scoring at a good rate when out-of-system and rarely making errors.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-660973f541fff"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17189568/6605e0afc22d2db93f5d92d5' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-660973f542090"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Daisy Voskuhl","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"32925","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Fulshear","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Texas One","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Voskuhl and her Texas One - 16 Royal team will be among the ones competing in the 16 USA division in Kansas City.

She has tremendous offensive potential and doesn't shy away from the big moments.

Her 6'5u0022 frame is one of Hickman's main assets, but she has been able to add power and several shots into her game. A lefty, she benefits from her high contact point and is very smart with her shot selection, scoring in a variety of ways and making very few errors.

A towering right side hitter, she's been considered one of the top players in her age group in Texas for quite some years now and her performances over the period have just confirmed that. Because of her size and skills, she can be unstoppable when in system, making contact with the ball at a very high point and hitting angles one would expect from a shorter player. She can hit different tempos on the right and is also steady and reliable on the left. Gaido's blocking is also a major factor as she can be a real challenge to opposing pin hitters when well-positioned to make stops.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-660973f5421f8"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16871403/6608fdc50f6542e01ee59acc' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-660973f542212"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["269804"],"_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":"[program_tooltip program_id='431337' first='Texas' last='Tornados'] 17 Adidas will have Porath on the right when they appear in the 17 USA division in Kansas City.

Porath is very precise when she hits around the block and can bring some heat when in system. She embraced the responsibility of being the team's main scoring option and works well under pressure. The right side hitter also times her blocking well and gets stops and wins 50-50 duels at the net with some frequency,","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-660973f542255"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17953851/65fcdaf7176cf50538ac21ee' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-660973f54226f"} /-->
