She is simple in her movement in both her transition and blocking footwork to make an effective impact on both sides of the ball when getting off the floor. Natalie Reida is a 2025 and plays middle for this team. At 6'0, she uses her arm well in the air as she can swing with good range and from various locations both in front and overhead of the setter off one foot or a more traditional swing as a right side attacker.
