Coaches at the Expo raved over the 2027 prospect’s grit standing in against huge swings; Pirillis absorbs brutal heat with a solid platform and cushions her dig to keep her team in system. The sophomore is an excellent overall player who is solid on the beach and can take a swing from the pin or pipe if needed.

From Emery: “Samantha is an incredibly dynamic player. She stepped into a new role as a libero this season and has done a fantastic job. She is a gamer who wants to win and will do anything to achieve that. Sam has a fun, competitive personality that is extremely fun to be around and play with. I sincerely treasure getting to play with her.”

Pirillis was rock solid in serve receive, showing good feet, strength and a solid grasp angling the ball to her setter. The 5’7 libero from Puyallup High School was nails passing free balls and swings, she kept PJVBC in rallies with dynamic plays in the back row. Pirillis gave everyone a glimpse of her skills in the fall, we expect her to continue to ascend as a defender.

Pirillis was able to step in and put up nice numbers when she had her number called for Puyallup this season, and the training at the 4A powerhouse is terrific. She snagged an Honorable Mention on the All-League team in the tough SPSL, a reward her for her efforts as a first-year defender in a fierce league. She will be patrolling the backrow for the Puyallup Juniors 15 Nationals team, another solid squad for PJVBC. Pirillis is gearing up to take her shot at the full time libero spot next year for the Vikings, the 2024 club season is an important step in that direction.
