Sarah MacDonald Sarah MacDonald 5'7" | DS/L St. Margaret's Episcopal | 2027 State CA is heading into UA Next with a very clear understanding of what she wants her impact to look like.

Whether through serve receive, defensive range, communication, aggressive serving, or out-of-system setting, Sarah consistently described the libero position through the lens of responsibility and trust. She wants hitters swinging confidently, teammates feeling connected, and the offense functioning cleanly under pressure.

That perspective should translate well tomorrow.

UA Next environments move quickly, chemistry forms fast, and liberos who can organize the court early usually separate themselves quickly. Sarah’s growth this season in passing range, backcourt leadership, and proactively adjusting serve receive lineups already sounds like preparation for exactly that type of setting.

What also stands out is how intentionally she competes emotionally. She prides herself in staying aggressive after mistakes instead of shrinking from them, using communication to build momentum, and approaching pressure moments with composure instead of panic.

Committed to University of Virginia, Sarah is ready to showcase her skills.
