Mattea Saunders Mattea Saunders 5'8" | DS/L Xavier College Preparatory | 2026 State AZ has redefined what it means to be a 6A libero, setting the tone for defensive excellence across Arizona. Her relentless energy, quick reflexes, and unwavering court presence have made her the backbone of the Xavier Gators’ defense all season long. Watching her command the back row with confidence and poise has been nothing short of impressive — she reads the game with precision and keeps rallies alive that few others could.

Statistically, her impact is undeniable. Mattea has tallied 51 aces, an astounding 528 digs, and is approaching 100 assists, showcasing her ability to influence the game in every phase — from serve receive to transition play. Her consistency and intensity have been key factors in helping her team maintain the #1 ranking in 6A throughout the season, setting them up perfectly for another deep postseason run.

What truly sets Mattea apart, though, is her leadership and competitive drive. She elevates everyone around her, keeping her teammates focused and fired up through every set and every match. As the Gators look to defend their state title, there’s no question that with Mattea anchoring the back line, they have every reason to believe they can finish on top once again.
