Mudd caught my attention during the club campaign when I scouted her and RVA at the Iowa Invite at the TBK Center in the Quad Cities. I was impressed again watching her compete for Ballard during the Grinnell Invite early on in the prep season. She was swinging away and defending the net at the opposite pin for RVA. As a Ballard senior, she was lining up in the middle of the net. It speaks to her athleticism and versatility up front. It’s a skill set that works well on the right side or middle. Mudd bounces off the court, thriving on quick sets and getting on top of the traditional offerings. She has an excellent feel for blocking and changing attacks when she’s unable to get her hands on it.

RVA 17U Boahen competed in a tough opening pool at the Iowa Clash, allowing us to get a full glimpse of the team’s go-to attackers. Mudd fit this distinction and locked down the team’s right pin in Des Moines. The Ballard High School standout soared to a 0.348 hitting clip with the Bombers last fall, and her high-efficiency work has flourished further on the club side.
