Big Impact Potential from These 2029 DS/L Prospects

Hatfield's effort this club season is helping her team compete well. Her pursuit of the ball is effective from how she reacts as she can pass and dig in all directions. By getting herself into good situations based on what the ball is telling her to do, she helps get her setters into good situations also. [program_tooltip program_id='431827' first='Elevation' last=''] 15 Ed finished 2nd overall at the recent Bluegrass event in 15 Open. They earlier finished 5th at the Nike Classic as well as 29th overall at loaded NIT even in the elite division     Jones (*pictured) is continuing to establish herself as a promising DS/L prospect, a position Tri-State teams are typically loaded with and use to their advantage through the collection of skills and effort they get from these athletes. Jones is simple but dynamic in her ability to read the ball across the net and activate her footwork or reaction quickly and efficiently. She works well with her teammates with ability to cover a lot of court if needed.     Dunlap recently arrived on the radar and will likely find herself in the rankings in the coming weeks. As a libero for [program_tooltip program_id='431827' first='Elevation' last=''] 15 Tony, she is efficient in how she plays this role. She has good tools relative to how she can impact the game, whether at the service line, taking the second touch when the setter is out, and certainly with her passing and defense. She is comfortable using her hands to pass overhead as well as her platform. In either situation, she moves comfortably while maintaining balance and composure.     Expect Lotycz to be among the ranked 2029s going forward with the next update ahead. Learning about her with TVC has been fun as this is a good team that features setting and hitting that benefit from their passing and defense creating opportunities. Lotycz controls her platform away from her body, which allows her to adjust her angles as needed when facing the ball. TVC 15 Black finished tied for 5th in 15 Open at Bluegrass.     At 5'8, Heckman has good range in her effort given her length as a DS/L and her skills to use that length all the way through the end of her platform when pursuing the ball. The primary libero for her Elite VBTC 15 Black team, she supports her teammates well throughout point flow with her ball control as well as through other intangible aspects where back row DS/L athletes can make plays and impact the game. She and her team finished Bluegrass tied for 13th in 15 Open.
