About Claudia
Expert Analysis
Mike Bryant | Prep Dig Scout
Simons has been showing up well for her team as a lefty right side attacker. At 5’9, she gets off the floor well to take healthy swings that help balance their pin action offensively. She is developing her range to swing down the line more effectively as she naturally can drive the ball with good impact where the set is leading her approach footwork. Defensively, her athleticism benefits her effort to set and put up a good block.

Read EvaluationMike Bryant | Prep Dig Scout
Although Princeton did not find much match win success this past fall, Simons gained valuable experience as a freshman as one of their top offensive performers. Her growth is noticeable and one unique aspect I like about her game is that she is a lefty, one of a few identified in this class so far. Her club effort with OPVC is showing more risk and confidence in her arm swing, which includes some good pace upon contact, while also highlighting her skills defending at the net and being able to contribute to the passing game.
