Hoover brings an interesting combination of skills to the Rattlers’ 6-2 offense, serving as one of the team’s setters while remaining on the floor for all six rotations. She is an unusually strong blocker for a setter/hitter combo, showing excellent discipline at the net. Rather than reaching or drifting on her block, she stays composed and technically sound, making her difficult to attack against. Offensively, Hoover is comfortable swinging from either pin and generates good pace when given the opportunity. She also shows impressive awareness, using the blockers’ hands to score when she isn’t in an ideal position to take a full swing. She certainly isn’t intimidated by the size of the opposing block. As a setter, Hoover is steady and dependable, pushing the ball across the court and consistently giving her hitters an opportunity to attack. Her sets aren’t necessarily flashy, but they are accurate, hittable, and give her attackers what they need to be successful. Add in her relentless hustle and willingness to put her body on the floor, and Hoover brings a well-rounded skill set to the Rattlers’ lineup.
