About Alexia
Expert Analysis
Melissa Smith | Prep Dig Scout
The first thing that stands out about her game is the combination of explosive athleticism and confidence she brings to the court. Don’t let the 5’9″ fool you—she plays much bigger than her height because of her incredible vertical, quickness off the floor, and ability to attack above the net. She has a heavy arm that allows her to put serious pace on the ball and looked comfortable attacking off one foot, creating offense in multiple ways because of her speed and athleticism. What impressed me just as much as her physical ability was her communication—she was easily the most vocal middle in the gym, and I could hear her constantly talking with her setters. As she continues to develop, improving her blocking discipline and not reaching will make her an even tougher presence at the net. Her confidence, timing, and ability to close quickly allowed her to consistently get touches on the block, making her a major presence at the net.
