She has good athleticism and is fundamentally sound in what she brings on both sides of the ball. She tracks play development well in transition to create the right space so she can use her arm in a variety of ways through quick options around her setter. Her quickness also allows her to defend well at the net. The Mason product was a key offensive factor in 2024. The Comets' top returning offensive option is committed to Hillsdale College. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["227809"],"_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-6842fac64773a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 5'11 Auer is a fluid primary left side attacker. She can contribute well in the passing game while pursuing her attacking opportunities with good footwork, momentum build, and range in her shot selection upon contact. She elevates and sees the court in front of her well. Her Infinity team has experienced good success this club season with her point scoring being a big part of their effort. The Malone University commit led her Crestview team last fall with a career best 4.0 k/s average as she will enter he senior season with 630 total career kills.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["292944"],"_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-6842fac64778f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Illinois College is getting a good one in Ostendorf (*pictured). The 5'8 setter has been guiding her teams well for multiple seasons. She can run a quick offense with good precision when in-system while showing good improvement in her accuracy and range this club cycle when she is on the move to pursue the second touch. She has one more season with Fairfield who she led offensively as a hitter in 2024 at 4.7 k/s while also sharing setting duties. For her high school career, she has dished over 1,300 assists while also leading the Greater Miami Conference in total kills last fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["759763"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":231263,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6842fac647802"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Claire has provided some great moments for her Elite VBTC team this club season. She has improved the quality of her movement offensively as a middle as she benefits from having a very good setter than can locate her well, which has also increase her range of options and her effectiveness as they have shown to have a solid dynamic with one another. With ability to score both in front and overhead of her setter, her action includes good footwork, lift, and arm control. The offensive leader for Marysville in 2024, she is committed to a really good NCAA DII program in Wingate.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["504942"],"_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-6842fac647854"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sanders is a well-rounded athlete. At 5'11, she has been making contributions for OPVC 17-1 Henry in a variety of ways. She has fundamental mechanics as an outside hitter with good arm control. Some of her best value for this team has been in the back row defensively and at the service line. A rising senior for Lakota East, the Thunderhawks' leading offensive threat from 2024 will take her skills to the NCAA DIII level at Wittenberg University.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
