Andrea handled 361 receptions and recorded 172 digs during her junior season, finishing second on St. Pius X in both categories. She gained that experience within a serve-receive group that handled substantial volume, giving her repeated opportunities to read servers, manage seams and keep the Golden Lions in system.

Her senior opportunity is not only to collect more digs. It is to become one of the players determining how calm the backcourt feels. Strong defensive leaders communicate before the serve, reduce hesitation between passers and turn difficult attacks into controlled transition opportunities. If Andrea can expand her command while maintaining reliable first contact, the effect will appear in the quality of every offensive option that follows. ~ S.Fitzgerald @BenchtoBeast_prepdigga
