Cox is a young middle who is already catching our attention! At 6’0″, she brings high reach and plenty of potential to the net. However, one of the most impressive parts of her game is how smoothly she moves from passing into attacking. Seeing a middle in this class handle that transition so well is exciting! Additionally, Cox moves well across the net and brings a heavy, snappy arm to her attack. Her reach can make an impact in multiple phases of the game, giving her plenty of ways to contribute. She is a name we are excited to keep watching as she continues to develop!
