Yeah that was her position in NT. She attacked very seldom but was main reception player together with libero. I think she was an important player for RUS NT from 2002-2004 even though most people didn't even notice her because only Gamova and Sokolova scored
You are right, she was important player, but that also show how much high level coaches are in the World, after 2004 Caprara took over Russian's and he was not able to use her. Something that most trainers have also with players from dutch national team, they play with Selinger and they are great they go to the club and they are just average.
