New on the international scene she is the final piece in the puzzle for Turkey taking them to both Volleyball Nation's League and European Championship wins in 2023 and winning MVP in both competitions.
Wonder where all the power comes from? Just look at her perfect hitting action.
First pass, short cover, taking power hits, chasing and recovery, back court and bump setting. Quick, brave and accurate, a good libero runs the team's back court play.

Poland vs Turkey
Watch Turkey save 5 match points to take the 4th set in this Euro Olympic Qualifier, Wonderful volleyball, huge tension, the crowd on it's feet throughout.
Another match point saved. Meriam Boz won 7 points of the 11 needed in this amazing comeback.
A fabulous advertisment for the game.
Is Nootsara the world's best setter?
Watch Thailand wipe the floor with Turkey in this World Grand Prix event. Thailand's fast combination attack leaves Turkey's block groping for thin air, all orchestrated by amazing setting from Tomkom Nootsara. Whiplash wrists and a built-in compass, she can put the ball anywhere and seems to have a telepathic understanding with her attack.
