At 5’6, Bender makes a big impact for her team as a floor leader of this RockCity offense. One of the better clubs for talent development and tournament strength in the greater Cleveland area, this is an environment that trains setters well. The menchanics of movement and pursuit to the develpment of touch and force, this club can produce offense well starting with their setters. Bender is a good example of this in how she is improving all of that in the ways she contributes to her team’s effort in locating her hitters well through all options across the net. She has good athletcism in using her movement to either elevate to contact or in making posture adjustments when the ball is tight or in pulling her away from the net.
