I always see Eliana pushing and cheering on her teammates when they do something good but also lifting them up when they make a mistake.  Her leadership on the court is unmatched and seeing her being that person that motivates her teammates has taught me so much."</p>   <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Hilarious and Cringeworthy Moments</strong></h3>   <p><strong><em>Karina</em></strong> "I think the funniest moment that both of us shared is when we were playing volleyball in the front yard and Eliana hit me in the head with the ball." </p>   <p><strong><em>Eliana </em></strong>"We have it on video, so we watch it on the weekly."</p>   <h3 class="wp-block-heading"></h3>   <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Smack Talk Champion</strong></h3>   <p><strong><em>Karina and Eliana</em></strong> "Well sometimes our teams practice together. So on those days Eliana definitely talks the most smack. Whether it's talking smack when she gets a kill against me or she beats me in short court."</p>   <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Squashing Disagreements</strong></h3>   <p><strong><em>Karina and Eliana</em></strong> "Well, when we were younger my mom used to make us stay together to do everything… chores, play, everything… and stay together till we made up. But it always worked; we were always laughing by the end."</p>   <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Funniest Moments Watching Each Other</strong></h3>   <p><strong><em>Eliana</em></strong> "Watching Karina trip over one of her teammates and fall on her face."</p>   <p><strong><em>Karina</em></strong> "Watching Eliana in the AAU championship game when mid-way through the game she ran off the court and threw up, and came back the next point."</p>   <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Proudest Achievements</strong></h3>   <p><strong><em>Karina </em></strong>"The coolest thing Eliana has achieved in volleyball definitely has to be verbally committing to UCLA.  Watching how much work she put into it and seeing how happy she was when she committed was amazing. She is really one of my biggest role models and I am so proud of her and she earned it."</p>   <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Future Aspirations</strong></h3>   <p><strong><em>Karina and Eliana</em></strong> "We are most looking forward to hopefully being able to play one year of high school volleyball together. It would be so much fun to finally be able to play on the same team after watching each other for all these years."</p>   <p>As these sisters continue their volleyball journey, their bond remains unbreakable, fueled by laughter, support, and a love for the game that transcends any rivalry. </p>   <p>Here's to sending the entire Urzua sister squad all the luck in the world, whether they're spiking balls on the court or kicking them on the field!
