Hannah Reichensperger

Reichensperger
6'2" | MB
Northeast Range | 2022
State
MN
– 6’1 | HS: Northeast Range | Club: MN North 16-1
An Arrowhead all-conference selection, Reichensperger is probably the most athletic and dynamic middle in the 2022 class. She has a polished quality to her movement and displays great explosiveness off the floor to attack the ball. She elevates extremely well, has a nice arm, and can put some good heat upon the ball with good range. With a recorded 10’0 approach touch, she can hit with great pace through a lot of zones and maximizes her contact point well. Her court awareness and instincts are also at a high level in making herself available often in transition or in pursuit of an opposing attacker when blocking. Her presence at the net defensively is among the best and she can apply a lot of pressure on hitters at the net.
Emma Goerger

Goerger
6'4" | MB
Wayzata | 2022
State
MN
– 6’4 | HS: Wayzata | Club: MN Select 17-1
Goerger is tall and long and utilizes these physical attributes well both offensively and defensively. She shows good fluid movement around the floor as an offensive option. With good spacing and timing with her setter she can dominate a defense with her contact point in the air. This season she will play up a level with MN Select 17-1 and will benefit greatly from the level of talent around her, the pace of play they will see at the national level, along with the high level training these athletes receive on a weekly basis. Increasing her quickness in her foot work and arm speed will elevate her game and prospect status as well as make her a more consistent factor on both sides of the ball. Her Wayzata team captured the 2019 class AAA state championship and she will be a key catalyst to their effort over the next couple of high school seasons.
Maddie Lipetzky

Lipetzky

Shakopee | 2022
State
MN
– 6’1 | HS: Shakopee | Club: Northern Lights 16-1
Lipetzky is athletic and dynamic with good court instincts that include working quickly to make herself available often in transition. This combination of court awareness and high rate of activity make her a key contributor and one that is difficult to defend. She gets up and on the ball fast and has the vision and control to move the ball around with good adjustments based upon what the defense puts in front of her. She can contribute in a number of ways including swinging from various attack points in both the front row and back. She also has good blocking instincts and technique to get up and over the net fast. Her competitive experience is also a big asset playing for one of the state’s best high school programs and also for MN Select and their national-level competitive schedule.
