Immaculate Heart
There’s not much to say about Immaculate Heart other than this a recurring feat. This year is no exception has they are unbeaten in dominating fashion. The team has not dropped a set and the team in my opinion has not even had to get out of second gear.
The squad has four players with 40+ kills and can beat you any way they want. The concern this season was to find a setter and Kalena Stavish is going to be the next great one at Immaculate Heart. She already has 206 assists this season.
Demarest
Now we have a Demarest squad that again has not looked truly tested this season. The second team from the Big North on our list continues to cruise this season. What have been their calling card this season? Team defense. They already have 11 players who have recorded digs this season.
The team has depth and are not afraid to play as many players as possible to keep the team fresh. Then you have one of the best in Olivia Cammalleri Olivia Cammalleri S Demarest | 2022 State NJ leaving her fingerprint on the match.
East Brunswick
East Brunswick has been a squad this season utilizing their offensive firepower to be unbeaten this season. They have five players with double digit kills to give opposing teams nightmares of where the ball is going to go. It gives them an extra dimension offensively.
A very-senior reliant squad, statistically speaking, showcases why they were one of the best last season and want to go the extra mile this season behind the arms of Paige Anania Paige Anania 5'5" | OH East Brunswick | 2022 State NJ and Hailey Benesz.
Lodi Immaculate
Lodi Immaculate is definitely a surprise so far being unbeaten. The squad is 6-0 in the NJIC and have used a combination of senior leadership with young talent to do so. I picked them as a dark horse in the conference but I never expected this.
The team is well-balanced with three go-to hitters in Anna Geisler, Brianna Kirkland and Sydney Kropiewnicki. All three have 25+ kills on the season and are the engine of the Lodi Immaculate attack.
Northern Highlands
Last but not least, we have a third squad from the Big North in Northern Highlands. Northern Highlands for me has been a surprise only because how senior-heavy the team was a year ago. But the team just reloaded instead and now is young with a senior leader in Ruby Van Der Heide Ruby Van Der Heide 6'0" | S Northern Highlands | 2022 State NJ .
Talk about a squad with depth as they have gone 15 deep this season where players have made significant contributions. This team is scary as they are going to be extremely fresh going into the stretch-run of the season.
