White has good size and has athleticism to get up and swing aggressively while showing quickness and and good hand position to lead the offense when setting. Borer sets a varied offense with good tempo and location while also showing point scoring ability from the right pin. They get good offensive support from a trio of middles in Erin Brothers, who gets up well and swings with a fast arm, Sasha Stotler who at 6’4 can score in front and behind the setter while also providing big presence at the net , and Anna Boezi who provides quickness in her footwork and ability to get up and over fast defensively.
