Melodia gives Evans another 2029 outside hitter represented at the showcase. Competing alongside another athlete from the same school does not mean the two will be evaluated identically. This event gives Melodia a chance to establish the qualities that make her own game recognizable.

What to watch August 8: Her positional identity. Melodia can separate herself through shot selection, serve-receive discipline, transition effort and the ability to contribute when she is not the primary attacker. Evaluators should look for the habits that show whether she can develop into a dependable six-rotation option. ~ S.Fitzgerald @BenchtoBeast_prepdigga
