3. Skylar Bump Skylar Bump 5'7" | S Lakewood | 2023 MI , Lakewood/FaR Out: Bump is in her third year of varsity play with Lakewood and this year will be her biggest test, losing a dominant hitter in middle Aubrey O’Gorman Aubrey O’Gorman 6'3" | MB Lakewood | 2021 State MI .

4. Corrie Wisser Corrie Wisser 5'10" | S Hopkins | 2023 State MI , Hopkins/MVA: Wisser has been active this season, as she’s one of the early assist leaders in the state while also putting down a high kill total and hitting at a .410 percentage. She’s smart with the ball, but runs an aggressive style.
5. Erin Madigan Erin Madigan 6'2" | S Dakota | 2023 State MI , Dakota/Legacy: Madigan has Dakota looking like a top contender in Division 1 this year. The Cougars are 8-1 with a lone loss to Marian. Madigan is spreading the ball out well and approaching 10 assists per set thus far.
6. Paige Elliott Paige Elliott 5'6" | S Country Day | 2023 State MI , Country Day/Legacy: Elliott is also an excellent defender and her presence is key for a loaded DCD offense. She missed the opening weekend, which led to a draw and a loss for the Yellowjackets. They are a much more efficient team with her on the floor. She could really be the key piece to their pursuit of a state title this year.
7. Eve Martin Eve Martin 5'11" | S Lakeland | 2023 State MI , Lakeland: The Eagles have been one of the surprise teams thus far in Division 1. They are a scrappy squad and Martin is a perfect example. She plays multiple positions, but finds ways to get the job done wherever she is on the floor. A determined player, her athleticism and grit takes her a long way.
8. Megan Grose Megan Grose 5'10" | S St. Catherine | 2023 State MI , St. Catherine/Michigan Elite: Grose is another great athlete that plays the setter position.

9. Hayley Wegener Hayley Wegener 5'11" | S Coopersville | 2023 State MI , Coopersville/MVA: New to the Coopersville squad, Wegener is fitting in nicely for the Broncos this year. She sets a great ball and reads the court well. She’s got a lot of young hitters to work with, making Coopersville a very dangerous squad for the next two years.
10. Avery Palmateer Avery Palmateer 5'10" | S Caledonia | 2023 State MI , Caledonia/FaR Out: Palmateer is a gamer that plays with a lot of competitive fire. She’s got good command and helps bring the best out of her teammates with her positive attitude. She’s got a good mix of sets and is improving with her footwork each day.
