Juliana was named Player of the Tournament at the Emerald City Volleyball Invitational in Seattle, Washington by KBC Sports. See game highlights and her interview in the Video section.
From KBC Sports:
Punahou (HI) made the most of their trip to Washington, taking six straight games in the Emerald City Volleyball Invitational at Eastlake High School. Their offense clicked thanks to the stellar play of junior Middle Blocker Juliana Behrens. Behrens controlled the middle of the court, connecting on better than 80% of her kill attempts. Her efforts opened the door for the Punahou’s success in the ECVI.
