As their primary libero all season, Regionals was no different. She was confident and consistent across two days of play. She has been crucial to their success; she reads the play as it progresses, makes quality defensive moves, and creates a lot of opportunities for the team to succeed. With some offensive weapons across the front row, Azavedo works to keep them in system.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-647104b587974"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["161822"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Carle took on a totally different role than previous tournaments and stepped up big time as the libero for OJVA 16-1 team. With injuries and illness, the team only had seven athletes able to play. They looked to Carle for steady serve receive and relentless pursuits on defense. Given that she has been running a 6-2, she had no problem putting up out-of-system balls up for hitters to swing away on.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-647104b5879c1"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["249598"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Comer was integral in the OJVA 16-2 team taking home the championship in the 16U division.

Her play was crucial in the team tracking home the championship in the 18U division. Typically seeing court time as a defensive specialist, she showcases relentless pursuit, no matter the score. I watched her leap over a chair, diving onto the cement floor to save a ball. And she popped right back up, ready to dig another ball. She exudes grit.

Previously seeing court time as a defensive specialist/libero, with only seven healthy players, she was asked to play all around as a right-side hitter. Attacking, she flies and, with an explosive approach and a hammer of a left arm, can obliterate the ball. Her ball control skills are solid.
