Coach’s Comments: "Valarie has great athleticism and timing to allow her to play strong at the net with her attacking and blocking abilities. In recruiting her, we were impressed with her amazing athletic ability and vertical, along with her powerful arm swing. Valarie has great court awareness, court vision, the ability to play both middle and outside positions, and her ability to play strong at the net on both offense and defense. We were looking for a hitter who can do multiple things, run a variety of sets, and would give us another weapon on both offense and defense. She will adjust well to our fast-paced offense and run a variety of sets that our offensive system requires for a front-row hitter."
