Milena is another player with height. Last year when she played for West Springfield she showed a bit of rawness in her game. This year she was much more polished. West Springfield in my opinion was an unexpected winner in the Virginia Class 6 state championship. They would not have won without the steady play of Milena patrolling the middle. She led the team in blocking in the championship match with six.

Now she takes her improved tools to Virginia Elite. They finished ninth in the USA Division this past weekend after losing in three to Metro National in the first round of the gold bracket. Milena is one of those players you have to keep tracking because once she finds her offensive game she could transform into a top caliber player.

The blocking skills are there. A little more improvement in her arm swing to gather more power in her spikes would make her a force. She led her West Springfield team in blocks while finishing second in kills. While her .405 hitting percentage impresses it accumulated from her ability to hit over smaller, less skilled blockers. Playing at the higher level will provide her the challenges she needs to improve her game.
