Talk about a massive leap… Maja as she wasn’t even ranked in our first update but is now inside the rankings and all the way up to 52nd. A middle who is really blossoming this season with more and more rep that has caused this exponential climb. When you watch her play you see a lot of potential on top of skill. Her offensive game is really coming together with the ability to run fast and quicker sets during rallies both in front and behind the setter. More impressively is she can take a one on one and win a ton of those match ups but also holds her own in double block situations and will take a off speed shot when it is required.

Defense is where he biggest asset lies as she is already showing advanced footwork patterns along the net and does an impressive job reading setters and attackers for her age group. Her ability to close blocks consistently and take away angles makes her a disruptive presence defensively, while her length allows her to affect plays even when she is slightly late getting to the pin.

Maja is a riser because what separates her from many players in the 2029 class is the overall ceiling she possesses. The physical tools are there, but the feel for the game and willingness to improve stand out equally as much and demonstrates and supports her massive jump!
