Grace Clark – 5’6 | S | Club: V-Hawk Xtreme
Clark was one of the more impressive setters regarding footwork to pursue the second touch and hand postion. She prepares well and is efficient with her footwork showing good consistency in how and when she contacts the ball and extending through her delivery. She can set a variety of locations and mid-level tempos that put her hitters in good position to be effective. She commands the offense well and can also put pressure on opponets well from the service line.
Kylie Struble – 5’6 | DS/L | High School: Pacelli Catholic (WI)
Struble contributes well with her ball control and from the service line. She patrols the back row with great intent that involves good movement and readiness to react to the opposing attackers. She brings good energy and competitiveness with the ability to make plays consistently on the defensive side through good quickness, reactions, and range outside of her midline and overhead.
Lilly Thul – 5’10 | MB | Club:
Kandi Elite
16-1
Undersized at the middle position, Thul makes the most of her opportunities with an aggressive style of play. She can generate some power behind the ball when attacking with good fundamentals in her arm work. Thul also has good attacking versatility with the ability to score in front and behind the setter. She works hard to make herself available and creates good spacing with her setter through her timing and approach work. She also has good vision defensively and tracks the ball well when blocking with quick hand work at the net.

– 5’4 | DS/L | Club: MVA
Yang is athletic and has great court awareness and all-around skills. She was impressive in that she was comfortable and simple in her play throughout the session, yet aggressive in her opportunities defensively and when she took swings from the back row. Her platform skills were among the best in her session. She has great quickness and her low center of gravity in her defensive position allow her to play much bigger than her frame on that side of the ball.
Molly Voss

MN
– 5’6 | DS/L | Club: M1
Good pursuit and range, two qualities that stood out about Voss throughout her session as she can cover a lot of the court. She increases her range well because she prepares well throughout the point sequence. Defensively, she pursues the ball to the floor with full extension of her platform without bailing on the skill to rely on one arm or other emergency skills. With a business-like style to her defense, she has great quickness and athleticism and pursues the ball with the mindset and ability to get back to her feet to stay involved in the point and in support of her attacking teammates.
