About Joi
Expert Analysis
Samantha Fitzgerald | Prep Dig Scout
Joi is one of the new pieces on Pace’s varsity roster this season, and her background as a 2028 setter gives the Knights another young player capable of influencing how the offense develops over the next several seasons. She is also part of a strong Georgia club pipeline, appearing with Tsunami ‘s 16-1 group and among the state’s 2028 setter pool.
Showcase-style matches and playdates can test setters because momentum changes quickly and there is very little time to settle into one rhythm. Joi’s opportunity is to show clarity under speed: get her feet to the ball, make a decisive choice and give the hitter a location she can trust. The intangible is ownership. Even younger setters have to communicate like the offense belongs to them. When a setter begins doing that comfortably, the athletes around her usually start looking more confident too. ~ S.Fitzgerald @BenchtoBeast_prepdigga
