Arielle’s versatility is one of the most compelling aspects of her game. Her setting production reflects a player trusted to manage significant offensive responsibility, while her defensive contributions show that she can remain involved beyond the second contact. Setters who understand the importance of ball control and defensive positioning have an opportunity to become more complete court leaders. Arielle’s freshman season demonstrated an encouraging ability to manage the demands of varsity volleyball. Her next stage of development will be especially interesting as she continues refining tempo, distribution and communication with her attackers. ~ Samantha Fitzgerald @BenchtoBeast_prepdigga
