"Linn is a very dangerous player who can dictate the offense with a wide variety of attacking shots. She has one of the best one handed backhand drives in the nation and can use short and deep slices to set up her offense. Linn also has an outstanding serve and can finish points at the net, which she effectively used last season when she won her match against No. 8 ranked Fresno State."
