She plays under the guidance of coaches Danielle McCree and Kurt Vlasich.  Saniya transitioned from a middle blocker to an outside hitter which makes her a more versatile player.  She knows how to play defense, by reading the block and covering. She can serve up an ace. She also knows how to adjust and attack from the back row.  She is a smart player with a good volleyball IQ. What I enjoyed about watching her play was her ability to place the ball well. She has a powerful swing, finding open spots deep cross-court, down line, and hitting down the seam when the block is late.

With that knowledge and changing to an outside hitter, makes her even more versatile in her position. Watching Brewer play, she knows how to block at the net with high hands and locked shoulders. She attacks the ball with height and power. She knows how to serve and pass the ball. Brianna can read the ball and defend the tips or setter dumps when playing back row.

Her balls have good velocity and speed to get in between the blocks.  She can kill a perfect set or adjust to the ball to make it work. She sets the block in the right position by penetrating the net and taking away the line shot. If the ball doesn't come her way, she gets over and covers.

She is an offensive force in the front and back row by hitting from pipe. Her hits are hard and precise. Her movements are fast and explosive which allows her to change areas quickly; sliding to help block at the middle, picking up a tipped ball, or digging an attack.
