Kaya Love Young Kaya Love Young 6'4" | MB/RS CA refused to let momentum drift. After dropping the first set in the final match of day one, Young contributed a critical serving run that shifted tempo in the second set. During that stretch, she extended rallies with digs and out-of-system touches that stabilized play and allowed her team to regain structure. Late in the day, after a lengthy delay at the scorer’s table, she redirected idle energy into engagement, keeping teammates active and mentally sharp before closing out the match. Even after being blocked or tooled, she immediately called for the ball again, reinforcing a next-play standard that anchored team confidence.

Her growth focus centers on blocking discipline. Coaching feedback emphasized pushing back into the court rather than reaching forward, and using her outside arm more efficiently to seal. She plans to study film to correct positioning errors and model stronger hand placement patterns. Off the court, Young studies marine environmental science and is preparing for a move to Hawaii, where she is eager to pursue hands-on ecosystem work and deepen that academic interest.
