Cadence is a libero to watch and I have a feeling she won’t be ranked outside the top 40 for too long. Defensively, she reads attackers well and reacts quickly, allowing her to make difficult digs look routine while extending rallies with effort and composure. Her movement is efficient, balanced, and under control, helping her stay in position even during fast-paced sequences.

From the service line, she applies pressure with a tough, consistent serve that forces opponents out of system and creates scoring opportunities for her team. Defensively, her court IQ stands out immediately as she reads hitters early, recognizes tendencies, and positions herself extremely well before contact, allowing her to make plays that many defenders cannot reach. She seems to know where the ball is going well before anyone else on the floor can react.

Cadence is a libero who is going to turn some heads over the next year. She has shown us she can play at an elite level and has really progressed in her overall game this season.
