Rocha, the #2 setter for the class of 2026, also transferred schools this year, moving from Blanchet Catholic to Cascade. She was named to the 2A Tri-River all-league second team for her play for the Cavaliers last season. Rocha is an excellent setter, getting her hands on nearly every ball and placing her sets perfectly. She runs a fast offense and distributes her sets well, making sure to involve her entire front row and keeping opponent blockers on their toes. Rocha is a solid defender, too, and is quick to make plays and keep the ball alive, all of which she showcased on her NPJ 15 National team this past season. Rocha will be a huge asset to Cascade this season.
