<p class="text-gray-700">Parker played libero for the [program_tooltip program_id='510661' first='Houston' last='Skyline'] TW 16 Royal team that secured a second-place finish in the tournament, with four wins and three losses. Her quickness on the backcourt was truly remarkable and allowed her to get to many balls. Parker also proved to have impressive technical skills and to be extremely resourceful, often making diving saves, one-handed digs and overhead moves. The libero also had some good serving runs and did a fine job when she had to set in out-of-system plays.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Robinson and her [program_tooltip program_id='431337' first='Texas' last='Tornados'] 16 Adidas side had four wins and two losses over the weekend, finishing in third place. Extremely agile, she did a great job of tracking shanked passes or digs and kept many of them in play. Robinson also got several touches on playing defense and displayed superior ball control to handle most of the balls that went her way. Her passing was solid and reliable during the weekend too.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Flessas was the libero of the Texas Legacy 16 Elite team that placed third with two wins and four losses. A player of excellent technical skills, she covers a lot of ground in serve-receive and transmits a lot of confidence to her team. Flessas also stands out on defense, working hard to get touches and showing solid ball control to make saves. She also communicates with her teammates very well and plays an important leadership role with the team. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Miller contributed to the campaign of two wins and three losses of her team STVA 16 Navy, which took the team to a fifth-place finish in the tournament. She was always very calm on the court and that positively impacted the efficiency of her defensive actions. Very technical, Miller was always in the right spot to make contact with the ball and was incredibly accurate with her touches. The libero also did a good job when she had to set in transition plays, sending the ball into hittable locations.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The starting libero of Texas One - 16 Royal, Lopez helped the team finish ninth with two wins and three losses. She worked very hard on the backcourt and, because of her quickness, was able to cover a lot of ground, be it on defense or serve-receive. Lopez displayed great ball control in each of her actions and that allowed he to have solid performances in both roles too. The libero also had good moments at the service line, making good runs and consistently getting opponents out of system.</p>
