New Wave 16 Tsunami has a couple lefties who are really dynamic.  One is Lauren Smith Lauren Smith Lauren Smith 6'1" | S/RS Benet Academy | 2028 State IL who can serve as a right side hitter or setter.  I was able to see her play in the 16 Premier Division at the Winter Classic where her squad finished 4-1 overall.  An athlete like Smith is a real gem where she change the game in a variety of ways.  She can find her attackers and she can score points on her own.
