Larking Rupert brought physicality and competitive edge that was evident from the first rotation. Her arm swing is fast and aggressive, and she consistently attacked seams in the block rather than forcing low-percentage swings. She showed an advanced feel for timing her approach off different set heights, a skill that separated her in fast-paced sequences.

Defensively, Rupert was relentless. She pursued balls outside her zone, stayed low through contact, and transitioned immediately into attack. Her energy lifted her group, and she embraced the grind of extended rallies — the type of athlete who never takes a play off and raises the floor of the entire lineup. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas

Rupert is an impactful pin who finds ways to rack up kills, regardless of the situation. She will take big, aggressive swings when the opportunity arises, showing not only power but also confidence at the net. However, where she really excels is in her ability to score when the set is not perfect or if the defense has adjusted. Larkin will successfully mix it up and throw down smart tips and well-placed off-speed shots to keep opponents guessing. As the club season starts, we can wait to see this versatility on the club court.
