Following a freshman season at Valley that saw her come up with 249 digs, one behind the team leader, Rude has raised her game even more this club campaign. I saw her shine at the Iowa Regional Qualifier, when she helped Ohana reach the gold bracket. Rude displayed that same take-charge game at the Midwest Live Showcase in late May. She’s a good athlete that moves smoothly and efficiently around the court. With anticipation and a feel for the flow of the match, Rude keeps a lot of plays alive when others might come up short. She’s part of a core returning for the Tigers that should make them formidable in 2025.
