Coco and Villano named among top defensive players in nation

Congratulations to two future Lady Vols who were recently named to PrepVolleyball’s Defensive Dandies list of top high school defensive players! Claudia Coco, a high school junior from Johns Creek GA, was named to the third team (out of twelve) on the list of full time back row players. According to the site, “her defense repeatedly frustrates and denies the opposing teams’ best hit. Spot-on defense, great reading, anticipation, consistency, speed and tremendous tenacity are Coco’s trademarks”. This is the third year in a row she has been recognized. Bridgette Villano, a senior from Ft. Lauderdale FL, was named to the third team (out of five) for all-around players. Despite playing outside in high school, the site says she could be an “elite level libero at the collegiate level”. This is the second year Villano has been honored.
