Lauren Yacobucci

Yacobucci
5'11" | S
Magnificat | 2023
State
OH
– 5’11 | S
One of the best at her position in the 2023 class, Yacobucci will be a key element to this team’s success. She can distribute the full range of the floor with range of tempo and location. She makes simple moves to get her feet to the ball and her hands high to utilize her size well in this role. She is also a solid defender from the back row.
Anna Rumler – 5’9 | OH
From Akron, Rumler was an offensive force this past fall for Archbishop Hoban. She averaged 3.7 kills per set while hitting .258. She gets good lift off the floor at 5’9 and when on time and balance can generate a lot of force off her arm.
Sophia Anghilante

Anghilante
6'1" | MB
Magnificat | 2023
State
OH
– 6’0 | MH
Anghilante can get it done as a middle on both sides of the ball. The Magnificat junior averaged over four kills per set while hitting at in impressive .403 over the recent high school season. Defensively, she also contributed 2.4 blocks per match. She works well in the transition phase to get herself available on offense where she shows a high contact point and good power when on balance in the air.
Sydney Wake – 5’11 | RS/S
With some of the best versatility on this team and an all-around skill set, Wake can do a lot effectively. She is athletic with good quickness and springs to create advantages for her when hitting, with ability to terminate from a variety of locations and through different tempos. She can also distribute the offense as a setter with good touch and control.
Laney Klika

Klika
5'7" | DS/L
Gilmour Academy | 2023
State
#178
Nation
OH
– 5’7 | DS/L
Klika helped Gilmour to another Division II state title as she averaged 5.5 digs per set while also providing stability in the serve receive phase. One of the top prospects in the 2023 class, she doesn’t waste much movement and has the ability to manipulate her platform well in pursuit of the ball to get her team in system often. She reads the floor well and has good first step reaction to make big plays look easy.
