Audrina Dalla Costa Audrina Dalla Costa 5'9" | RS/OH Cinco Ranch | 2030 TX , a strong left handed pin hitter from Houston, that turns heads when she’s on the court. As she developed her skills as a hitter, she ran into the challenge of having to “relearn everything as a left handed hitter.” Being taught most footwork and movements with right handed hitters also gave her an advantage in making adjustments across the net in out of system play, able to save an over-set ball with her right hand. Working to perfect her footwork as a hitter has given her a laser focus for her own growth and development that has carried over to the court. In her time playing, she has established a favoritism for the surprise she delivers from the outside pin as she throws the blockers timing off with a line shot that must first cross her body. Audrina is a strong and versatile player that will no doubt give defenders a run.

Audrina plays both the right side and left side and at the Houston showcase she showed enough on both sides of the net to make that versatility feel like a genuine weapon rather than a listed attribute on a profile page. At 5’9″ in the class of 2030, she has the frame to be dangerous at either pin and her attacking mechanics were consistent throughout the day whether she was working from the right or stepping in on the left. Court coaches pointed to her net engagement on the right side as a particular strength, noting how she closed on the block with purpose. Her communication with setters she had never played with before was natural and immediate, which tells you something about her volleyball IQ and her ability to build chemistry quickly in an unfamiliar system. She led with composure throughout the scrimmage segments, and the sportsmanship she carried through the full day of competition was visible to everyone on the floor. Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award for this showcase.
