Some players didn’t need more than three or four matches to show what they can do and as production in volleyball can come in a variety of ways, we’ll spend this week highlighting the young prospects who are off to a great start in their campaigns.
Today we’ll take a look at the players who have been causing a lot of damage each and every time they step on the service line.
Tori Schlomer – Right Sider – HS: Odessa – 2022
A 5’8” right sider/outside hitter, Tori Schlomer has quickly established herself as Odessa’s most dangerous server in the recently-started season. The young prospect has played in seven of the Lady Tigers’ nine matches so far and registered aces in all of them, to a total of 30 points straight from the service line. Schlomer’s efficiency is really impressive as she did that in just 77 attempts, reaching an ace rate of 39%. She was at her best in matches against Reardan (seven aces), Selkirk (six) and Royal (six).
Brynn Tarabochia – Libero – HS: Naselle – 2023
Brynn Tarabochia is one of those hard-working liberos who go above and beyond to help their teams. Because of that, Naselle can count on not only her defensive proficiency, but also her ability to score points from the service line. An All-District Team selection last season, Tarabochia has been particularly good at that in 2021 for the Comets, registering 15 aces in just three matches – or nine sets. Even though it’s still a small sample, her efficiency rate when serving is currently at north of 40%, much of it due to a fantastic performance against Wahkiakum, in which she tallied eight aces in just 17 attempts.
Ivy Brown – Outside Hitter – HS: Silas – Club: Puget Sound Volleyball Academy – 2024
A transfer from Wilson High School, Ivy Brown didn’t take long to show her value to Silas, immediately providing the team a solid punch from the service line. The 5’10” outside hitter has been very comfortable with the Rams and registered eight aces in just three matches. Brown was a difference-maker in the team’s season-opener, firing five aces against Timberline, and followed it up with three more against Spanaway Lake.
