She’s a strong middle hitter who takes away a lot of the court from our opponents’ offenses. She has also become a reliable offensive force from the front line. Her mobility has put pressure on opponents trying to figure out where to block against her. And this season her serve has become a weapon for us as well. She has also become a leader for us off the court. Tamara will play a large part in whatever goals we achieve this season." |
