Savanna and her team are bringing pure excitement into the weekend. “Me and my team are so excited for the Durango Classic! We hope that all our hard work and preparation will show in this tournament. We are going to see how it goes and we are so excited to just have fun with all the amazing competition,” she said.

Her passing is what her team leans on in the back row, along with a consistency that keeps one bad play from turning into two. This season, she’s working on becoming a more well-rounded attacker and defender, putting in extra reps on her own time to build that confidence. Communication is constant for her, making sure everyone on the court knows what’s happening.

When things get tough, she becomes one of the louder voices on the floor, refusing to let her team get stuck on a mistake. What she hopes stands out most is her movement and involvement, even on plays where the ball isn’t coming directly to her.

Her biggest goal is simple: play volleyball in college and compete at the highest level she can reach. She’s just beginning to learn the recruiting process and has started building her list.

Outside of volleyball, her first language was Russian, and she spent time going to school in Ukraine.
