Mendoza is one of the several players who switched Drive Nation for TAV this season and will be with TAV 17 Black Jon in the 17 Open division this weekend. Her team has a handful of tall, powerful hitters and her presence helps keep things organized and efficient on the backcourt. Mendoza is highly technical and quick on the court and her fighting spirit and determination allow her to make a high number of digs every time she steps on the court. No ball is off limits for her on defense and she typically has the skills to keep most of them off the floor. Mendoza splits playing time with Madison Winkler Madison Winkler 5'5" | DS/L Keller | 2025 State TX , another elite player in the position.

Mendoza is the floor general of a strong Drive Nation 16 Red team. She’s a player that quietly puts on huge numbers every match and helps her team succeed. Don’t get me wrong, Mendoza will make some eye-catching plays every now and then, but it’s her volume that makes of her a special player. She gets so many defensive touches because of her ability to read plays extremely well and her quickness of movement. She also has the mindset every coach would want from a libero as she’s always willing to work harder than everyone else to keep the ball off the floor.
