Shurtleff has excellent body control and terrific eye-hand coordination; she is the epitome of a ball-control defensive player in the back row. She will move her body and platform in sync or separately to control a serve or swing and deliver it accurately to her setter. Shurtleff is athletic enough to play as an attacker during the school season, but with CRU, her defensive strength is showcased in the libero or DS role. CRU earned a USA bid at PNQ to secure their spot in Dallas.
