Coach Lawrence on Wright: "She's very fast and smart. Her setting game is really aggressive and risky, and very dynamic. She fights to be in the air and to make the risky set, meaning the long or dynamic set or the move that is more athletic and less safe, and in those ways she keeps her offense fast and gets the most out of her attackers because she's fighting for kills just as hard as they are."
