Sophia really stood out to me and should see a spot in our rankings come next update! She is a libero who moves extremely well and has a lot of length for a libero which aids in her ability to get a ton of touches on the ball in defense and serve receive. Sophia’s ability to make early reads while moving efficiently to the ball is what really stood out stood out to me in both the drill portion and game play. She does really well moving her feet and getting to the correct spot very early to make those passes. She was never late to a ball, and did a great job keeping her team in system throughout the drills/game play.

Sophia also did well with her out of system setting by putting the ball in great locations for the hitters to take swings on the ball. She does well with her platform setting and really puts the hitters in great positions to take swing when she is setting. Sophia has a lot of great intangibles we look for in liberos, from her excellent ability to read the game, her passing, and her movement overall. She made some big strides in our eyes at this showcase and has the opportunity to have a great fall with that type of game play.
