Stephanie Soares (Southern)
Soares has been one of the most distinguished setters in NJ as soon as she joined Southern as a freshman. She never misses a pass and led Southern to a sectional championship. She finished this season with 393 assists to help her reach over 2000 in her career. Watching her sets is something to behold and it almost is effortless. Lastly, she had double-digit assists every match this season.
Olivia Cammalleri Olivia Cammalleri S Demarest | 2022 State NJ (Demarest)
Cammalleri was one of the front-runners this season to be player of the year in NJ and she led Demarest to a sectional final. She racked up 274 assists this season with 104 digs and 23 aces. Her deception with her passing along with high volleyball IQ is what makes her special. It was no surprise that she has ended up on this list.
Cammi Quirk (Ridgewood)
Quirk raised her play and took on the challenge of being the setter for Ridgewood this season. In her first season, she played as a pin hitter but took the reigns of the Ridgewood offense and ran with it all the way to a sectional title. She finished with 310 assists, 89 and 51 aces. She’s always in control of the offense and always knew the correct play.
Kaelie Chung Kaelie Chung 5'4" | DS/L Scotch Plains Fanwood | 2021 State NJ (Scotch Plains-Fanwood)
Chung was one who had a monster season for Scotch Plains-Fanwood and helped the squad to a sectional title. She seamlessly had the ball every play and her calling card is her variety of her sets. Her go-to was to feed whoever was at the outside hitter and teams could not stop it. She has a quality bump set that may go unnoticed and led her to 379 assists.
Mackenzie Bloss (St. John Vianney)
Lastly, we have Bloss for St. John Vianney. She sat behind a phenomenal setter for two years and when it was her time to have the keys, she took full-advantage. Her bread-and-butter is her pinpoint accuracy which ensures a scoring opportunity for St. John Vianney. Her 270 assists led the squad a sectional title appearance. Bloss was one who came off the radar to being in the spotlight.
