Beyke has a good all-around skill set. As an outside hitter she has good court awareness and arm control to swing through various zones. When on time and balance she can score through an aggressive swing. She shows good balance and platform skills on the defensive side and has good length for this role.
Michelle Ezenekwe – 5’11 | MH | Mintonette M.72 National
Ezenekwe has potential to be more of an impact middle as she has a full range of offense in front and behind the setter. If she can develop more fluidity in her footwork that improves space and timing along with a more dynamic use of her upper body for lift and balance, she will increase her ability to terminate with more power and range with her arm.
Katy McCaffery – 5’11 | RS | Elite 17 Blue
McCaffery gets her feet to the ball well and creates good torque with her elbow. This allows her shoulders to open to the ball and create potential for power. She can increase her lift, reach, and balance in the air by getting her left arm up and out in front of her.
Marlo Santoro – 6’0 | RS | TSE 17 White
Santoro has good attacking power and range when on balance in the air. The left-handed right side attacker was a reserve on the 2020 state championship team from Mount Notre Dame, bringing with her good competitive experience. She shows good momentum build in her approach work when in-system that helps create good point scoring opportunities.
Carmen Soloria – 5’4 | S | Elevation 17 Baldrick
Soloria has good footwork to pursue the second contact. She shows consistently high hand position prior to contact with good balance. When on time she can distribute the full range of the court with good location and tempo variation, including against the flow.
