Twins from different mothers, Gg Albuja and Maggie Turner are two of the best defensive specialists since Jill MacInnes. Autumn Whelan also fell in that category. Often defensive specialists get overlooked because they're 'doing the job' silently.
In baseball, great defenders excel in "runs saved" or "outs above average." In volleyball, exceptional defenders have high efficiency (chances - errors)/chances and 'steal points' by keeping the ball up.
Both have qualities in common such as athleticism, anticipation, skill, leadership, drive, communication.
Both are efficient players who have a high percentage of service points.
A formidable back line of defense, left to right, Carol Higonenq, Leah Fowke, Maggie Turner, and Gg Albuja.
Maggie and Gg are interchangeable and invaluable foundational players. Carol is earning 'most underrated' status in 2024.
