vs. Pace Academy: 12 digs, 3 assists

Gabi Monteiro helped steady Alpharetta after the Raiders dropped the opening set against Pace Academy.

The 5-foot-4 junior is listed as both a libero and defensive specialist and currently leads Alpharetta at 3.4 digs per set.

Monteiro also plays club volleyball with M2, giving recruiters another evaluation setting beyond the high-school season. Her profile is worth following because she isn’t simply accumulating occasional defensive numbers — Alpharetta is consistently placing significant back-row responsibility on her. In a three-set match decided by three points, making one additional rally playable matters. ~ S.Fitzgerald @BenchtoBeast_prepdigga

Monteiro brought balance and poise to the back row. She handled responsibility well in serve‑receive and didn’t drift when rallies stretched long. Her footwork stayed clean under pressure. That steadiness mattered late in sets. ~ Z.R. Nix @BenchtoBeast_prepdigga
