Northfield – Big 9
- They have stomped their way to an impressive 7-0 record in the Big 9 conference. Their numbers are outrageous: 77 team serving aces, 269 kills, 9.3 digs a set, and nearly 50 blocks (solo and assisted.) In fact, they haven’t even dropped a single set thus far. It is looking like Rochester Mayo could be their toughest opponent and they don’t play them until November 5th. Top Players:
- Megan Reilly Megan Reilly 6'0" | OH Northfield | 2021 State MN (2021; OH) – hitting .471%
