Victoria committed last year to Bridgewater in VA, and that was a strike of genius on both sides. She found a school that feels right and is a good fit for her, and Bridgewater grabbed one of the top DS in the region. She’s had a great career going into this Senior season, constantly battling for conference titles, and competing on a national level for Maryland Juniors. The best part might just be the character though. She’s one of the best kids you’ll ever meet, a great teammate, better friend, a wonderful person and has never let the success she’s had in youth go to her head. If there was ever a kid you wanted to cheer and root for, it’s Victoria. As much as you hear coaches talk about the off court stuff being important and that you need to be aware of your behavior, this is the poster child for how to behave and how to do things. She’s going to be such a treasure for Bridgewater and our whole region will feel less than when we don’t get to see her every day.

One of the top liberos in the D.C./Maryland area. Her passing and defensive play led Maryvale to an IAAM crown in 2024. This past year they finished second to a very stacked Annapolis Area Christian team.

Victoria has already committed to Bridgewater. Interesting that six of the top eight liberos in the class of 2027 have committed. Perhaps colleges are recognizing the importance a talented libero creates to a good offense

If you go back to the 2022 Capitol Hill Classic award winners Victoria won the best receiver award. Ana Djordjevic Ana Djordjevic 5'7" | DS/L/S Richard Montgomery | 2027 State VA won best server while Camryn Coulther Camryn Coulther 5'6" | DS/L Riverside | 2027 State VA best digger as well as MVP. Taylor Harrington Taylor Harrington 6'3" | MB Wakefield | 2027 State #10 Nation VA won best blocker and Caycee Chhum Caycee Chhum 5'7" | S Georgetown Day | 2027 State VA best setter. That is a pretty impressive group, especially when you look at what they have accomplished in the four years since.

One thing you can say about Victoria is she remains pretty loyal. While half her Maryland Jrs. 15 team left for Paramount Victoria stayed with Maryland Juniors. Of course, it may be harder as a libero to take another liberos spot.

She is one of the best in the business with her passing and playing defense. Two years ago, Maryvale won the IAAM Bracket “A” championship. Last year they reached the finals before losing to Annapolis Area Christian. All of this success because one of the top liberos in the area competes in the back row.

Of course, just as I start writing this up I learn she has recently committed to Bridgewater.

Easily the best Libero in the IAAM Conference, she does everything right and smooth. Solid platform. Accurate passing. Hustle. Communication. Leadership. This is what you want when you are looking for a leader and Libero. She easily has the tools to succeed at the next level, and from the number of coaches watching her this past season, that’s a when, not an if. Looking forward to what 2026 brings for her.
