Expert Analysis
Mike Graham | Prep Dig Scout
Hansel owns the back row making the routine passes time and time again. Hansel uses her range to track down balls, yet remain under control. Hansel has so much experience against high-level Open Division competition that well-struck balls bounce of her arms like ping pong balls straight to setters. Hansel is not afraid to lunge back if needed to track down shoves to corners. Hansel adds in a tough line drive jump serve. Hansel had 222 digs and 43 aces in the fall, helping Ryle go 22-14, win a sixth straight 33rd District championship and drive back to the 9th Region semifinals.
