From the USEL Volley News player profile, September 2026
Three straight errors on a targeted float in August — then six clean, four perfect. An error on ball one against Summit — then five perfect passes on seven. Fourteen matches in, she has not had two bad matches in a row. Since August 26: 2.32 on 41 attempts, two errors.
15 aces in 28 sets at 91% in. Opened a tournament match with four consecutive aces. Opponents pass noticeably worse off her serve than off the team average.
Her rating is earned from right, middle and left back — three zones, three angles to the setter — because that is where the lineup card has asked her to be. When the setter is pulled, she has delivered 14 out-of-system sets without an error.
Moved into the libero jersey for a set at the Santiago Tournament: seven attempts, a 2.57 pass with five perfect, seven digs, two kills from below the net, zero errors of any kind. The first hard evidence that the per-ball numbers hold when the volume goes up.
