#16 Ella Nordquist Ella Nordquist 6'0" | MB West Linn | 2022 State OR , 6’0″, MB/RS, West Linn High School
Nordquist, a transfer from Valhalla High School in San Diego, CA, recently moved to Portland and has enrolled in West Linn High School. She participated on the Varsity volleyball team during her freshman and sophomore years. She played in the middle for her high school team, where she helped them reach the San Diego Section Division II finals and the CIF State Southern California Regional Division III quarterfinals. She was awarded Grossmont Conference First Team All-League and the CIF Sportsmanship Award last season. Nordquist led her team in kills (236), hitting percentage (.397), blocks (65) and had 28 aces. When playing on the right side she does a good job setting the block and sealing with the net. She mixes up where she places the ball keeping the defenders on their toes. Given her experience also playing in the middle, she is a versatile athlete, not afraid to jump into any position. She played for Epic Volleyball Club 16-1 team last season primarily on the right side. With COVID-19 pushing tryouts for club in Oregon, she has not landed on a club team here yet but has been training with Oregon Juniors Volleyball Academy.
#38 Jaydan Sahlin Jaydan Sahlin 6'0" | RS North Marion | 2022 State OR , 6’0″ MB/RS North Marion High School, NW Power
Sahlin has been a Varsity starter since freshman year for the North Marion High School Huskies. For her play, she was awarded Tri-Valley Second Team All-League. During the off-season she dominated on the basketball court for the Huskies, receiving Tri-Valley Second Team All-League. She is a very versatile athlete, training in the middle for a lot of her career, but beginning to solidify herself as a right-side attacker. Given that she is left-handed she thrives on the right side. But she can even hit with her right hand when needed. She has a great rhythm and tempo to her approach. Her ball control is continuing to improve with the opportunity to play all six rotations during club and high school season. Last club season she played up to the NW Power 18 National team as a sophomore.
