Irina doesn’t seem to filter her hits. She swings hard at everything. For the most part they find the court. She plays six rotations with the ability to generate excellent velocity on her swings. She hustles for everything in the back row as well. A club like Libero needs a underdog like Irina to climb in the rankings.

Libero was seeded second in their pool but finished first. They lost their last match but the coach could have been resting his starters. Libero will be the first seed in their pool with Omaha Fashion and Legacy Adidas.

The top player to watch on this team is probably the 6’0″ setter Katelyn Rolph Katelyn Rolph 6'0" | S Bullis | 2028 State VA . Because I evaluated her three weeks ago I decided to choose the most interesting player in their 5’6″ left side Irina Padden Irina Padden 5'6" | OH/DS/L Freedom-South Riding | 2028 State VA .

She will not impress you with her height or her vertical. The velocity on her hits will also leave you unimpressed. What you will find when you watch her play is the ball tends to find the empty area of the court after she hits it. Her serves also finds the seams. And her defensive play will prevent most balls from hitting the floor on her side of the net. Her future may lay in the libero position but right now she is enjoying herself scoring points with intelligent hits.

For her success she likes using the block or hitting it deep in areas 1 or 5.
