<p class="text-gray-700">Unseld (pictured) made a number of quality passes on the day. She's made strides in the back row for 18-1. Unseld communiates well and squares her body up to balls to make crisp passes. She still has some problems with various hits, but her teammates and coaches have helped her there.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Sloan puts great touches on her sets as the result of a lot of repetitions, as she noted. Sloan especially executed the ones. Sloan executes a variety of short and long sets, including back sets. Sloan is also valuable on defense for 15O Gold. Sloan sets up well behind blocks and makes the simple passes. Sloan goes all out trying to track down as many balls as possible. She makes a number of two to three-point passes.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Simonetti did a good job running the offense. Simonetti set her feet well and distributed the ball with precision, including back sets with little lean. She makes the most of balls, even out of system ones. She mixes in setter dumps. Simonetti is coachable and keeps opponents out of system with her aggressive serving. She has quick feet and does a good job keeping things light on the court, especially after things don't go the team's way.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Leach takes full advantage of the hitters for 17-Black. Leach consistently puts balls in the hitters' power zones. She mixes her sets including back sets well, including a deceptive set-over. She makes a seamless transition with the other team's other setter. Leach is an aggressive server. She can paint the side lines with her serves.</p>
