Tapuitea Asi Tapuitea Asi 5'11" | RS/OH Chino Hills | 2031 CA named LovbLA Right Side Closer of the PrepDig SoCal UpNext Showcase

Tapuitea Asi Tapuitea Asi 5'11" | RS/OH Chino Hills | 2031 CA hits with a heavy hand and timing that lets her deliver a full swing on nearly every ball. She strikes with real power, and she reads the moment well enough to time her approach for maximum contact rather than rushing it. She backs that offense up on the other side of the net too. She plays defense like a competitor who refuses to give up on a ball, chasing down everything in her path.

That two way identity, a closer at the net who will not stop working on defense, is the kind of profile that keeps a right side on the court in every rotation. Tapuitea is most excited to see the competition and aggressiveness a professional team will bring to LA.

Her message to LovbLA is to go for gold and play hard.
