Mahoney on Ewert
“As a setter, Jenna can do it all: she’s got the physicality to play big at the net, she has the court presence to be a great leader, and she is absolutely fearless with the ball when pushing the tempo of the offense. Jenna does all the routine things at a high level, but what makes her special is that one or two times each set when she makes a play that makes everyone in the gym go “wow!” Jenna has the potential to be one of the elite setters in the Pac-12.”
