Reported to coaches by AVSR Global in 2016.

• Galabova hit .400 in the two matches and posted four blocks.

Excerpt from 2016 AVSR Global report:
“Mature, elite player with the skills and size to start immediately at RH or LH. … Not an explosive athlete or fiery competitor, but she’s clean and steady. … Smooth, high swinger. Back-row hitting is a strength.”
