27′ and 28′ Liberos to Watch!

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These defenders from the 2027 and 2028 classes have been on our radar during the first two months of the club season. As they continue to grow their games, expect this group of five to excel as defensive standouts in high school and beyond. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["754221"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67bd2926bc6f2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">O'Neill is a fast-moving defender built low to the ground, and she is doing an excellent job handling libero duties for Sudden Impact 15 Lightning. She is always hustling to cover her attackers and working hard to get to off-speed shots. The freshman from Lincoln High School has a hard-to-handle lefty serve that she drives deep into the court. O'Neill and her SIVBC squad will travel to the Red Rock rave in Vegas, and the PNQ is in Spokane this March. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["485672"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67bd2926bc785"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lind is playing confidently for Dakine 16 Surf Pasi. She reads opposing attackers and setters and is precise in the serve-receive game. The 5'4" sophomore from Timberline is quick and strong and makes decisive moves when she sees a tip or dump from a setter. Dakine is loaded with excellent liberos at the 16's level, and Lind is right there with that high-caliber group. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["618088"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67bd2926bc7e6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lum-Lung is making her case as one of the top liberos in the 2028 class. She has elite quickness and a terrific feel for the game. Her time on the sand has honed her ability to read shots and adjust her angles to keep the SIVBC offense in system. She sets the ball accurately with her platform and has a good jump float serve that dances low across the net with pace and low rotation. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["727424"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67bd2926bc844"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kozodoy is working hard in the defensive specialist spot for WVBA 16 Adidas. She is strong with her hands and platform and has terrific energy on the court. The Kamiak standout and [player_tooltip player_id='444381' first='Mira' last='Acikmese'] give WVBA two excellent options for DS/L. Kozodoy has an exceptional focus on the court, is consistently in the correct position, and works hard to maintain a low defensive posture. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["740595"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67bd2926bc8a2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hoesing looks closer to 5'8", and her length and precision have helped her make plays in the middle back for Athena this season. The freshman from Camas knows how to cushion a hard-driven serve or swing and keeps her platform away from her body to find the right angle. Hoesing also sets, and her out-of-system setting out of the back row is on point to either pin. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
