– Mount Notre Dame | Commitment: Florida
Hendrickson led MND to the Division I state crown last season and will lead them once again as they are a heavy favorite to repeat. She had a monster offensive season in 2020 with a big workload offensively but she has the arm to get it done. One publication recently named her the top player nationally entering into this fall season.

– Hartley
Brandewie was recently named to USA Volleyball’s U18 team and is back to help Hartley improve upon their district title last season. The 6-2 middle is a big presence at the net on both sides of the ball as she hit .395 while terminating over 50% of her attacks in 2020. Defensively, she earned over three blocks per match.

– NDCL | Commitment: Nebraska
There was a lot of anticipation for this prospect and her college decision throughout the recent club season as she was entertaining a collection of the best DI programs before selecting the Cornhuskers. She is ranked among the top 10 prospects in her class nationally and was also recently named to USA Volleyball’s U18 team. Look for her and NDCL to make a deep run towards another state finals appearance this season.
Setter

– St. Ursula Academy (Toledo)
There are some really good setters in Ohio and this was a tough choice, but watching Mott over the course of the club season with Legacy 15-1, one of the best in their age group nationally, continued to show her value to her team as she made steady individual progress through each event. As a rising sophomore she has good size for the position at 5’11 and the competitive maturity and presence to do a lot of dynamic things in her offensive distribution. Her ceiling is high and she should be recruited well as her prep career moves forward.
Libero

Klika is terrific in this role around the court. She has some of the best patience and vision that allows for very efficient first step pursuit of the ball. She made big contributions for the Lancers a season ago averaging over 12 digs per match as they earned the DII state title. She will have an even bigger role this year during her junior season and her numbers should increase from her 2020 output.
