Lyndsey Bender Lyndsey Bender WI played the pin with authority all weekend. Lyndsey creates real separation in her approach — controlled in the first two steps and explosive through her last two, consistently contacting at full extension. She wasn’t just swinging high and hard; she was reading hands and attacking with purpose. I noted multiple swings where Bender tooled the outside hand or snapped sharp cross when the seam opened.

In transition, Lyndsey accelerated her tempo and beat the block to the spot. Her shoulders stayed square, allowing her to see deep corner late and wipe high hands when defenders committed early. When the offense was pushed off the net, Bender looked comfortable carrying the high ball load — that’s a true left-side trait. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas
