The Illini Elite teams are well known for their range in players that are elite players and rising elite players based on their athletic talents and individual talents that make them the athletes that they are.
Players to Watch
Brooke Fox- OH
Fox is a very well rounded athlete who has a very powerful right swing. Fox is not the athlete you want to underestimate. She knows her grounds, she moves fluently across the court and once her setters set the perfect ball she goes in right for the kill. Fox stands at 5’10” and only continues to develop her craft. Fox is very powerful in the middle and left side of the court. Fox is a threat to her opponents, because if you don’t know her name then, you will know her name once she steps foot onto the court.
Addison Oyer- OH
Oyer is going to be an athlete you are going to want to watch this weekend and watch during the rest of her volleyball career. The 6’0″ OH is a threat to any opponent that she comes in contact with, because Oyer has a very powerful and consistent swing that challenges most of her defensive opponents. Oyer has a fast reaction time and works very well with her rotating setters. Oyer is a school record breaker with breaking the record in having the most amount of kills in one season at 379 kills. Oyer is going to be an exciting player to keep track of this weekend and in the remainder of her career.
