Player of the Week: September 30, 2019
Each week of the spring and fall seasons, one player who was originally reported as a recruit by AVSR Global is named Player of the Week for an exceptional performance.
Fall 2019 Week #5: Paty Valle
George Washington University.
Atlantic 10 Conference.
NCAA Division I.
Graduate Student. 6'4" Middle/Opposite.
Reported by AVSR Global to coaches in 2014.
Home: Guasave, Mexico.
See Paty Valle’s bio at the GW website.
Last Week:
• George Washington won its Atlantic 10 opener, and Valle, a 2019 transfer, continued to boost the resurgent Colonials.
• GW defeated George Mason 3-2. Valle scored 10 kills and five blocks.
• Valle is among the Atlantic 10 leaders in blocks and ace serves. She transferred to GW last spring from Texas Christian University.
• Valle played middle blocker for Mexico’s women’s national team and junior national team. At GW she’s mostly playing opposite. She was a latecomer to volleyball, with little formal training before age 16.
Excerpt from 2014 AVSR Global report:
“Powerful and dynamic. … Skills are unusually clean for a relatively new player. … She’s incomplete, but her foundation is broad and stable. … Generates great power with a short, quick arm swing.”
