16’s
Abby Carlson Abby Carlson MB Waukesha West | 2025 WI – 2025 – Middle Blocker – Waukesha West – Midwest Penguins 15 Black
Carlson works really hard in transition and makes contact over the opposing block. She does a nice job closing the block on the defensive side of things. Carlson knows how to work the angles and gets the kill at just the right time.
Ava Dettwiler Ava Dettwiler 5'10" | S La Crosse Logan | 2024 State WI – 2024 – 5’8 – Setter/Right Side Hitter – La Crosse Logan – Xtreme 16 Adidas
Dettwiler is super athletic and takes a really smooth approach to the ball. She can swing hard down the line and play gritty defense. As a setter, she is sneaky and it shows her high volleyball IQ.
Bridget Moen Bridget Moen 5'9" | OH Hortonville | 2023 AZ – 2023 – 5’9 – Outside Hitter – Hortonville – Impact 17 National
Moen has a nice high contact point and fast swing. She sees the court well and knows how to beat the block. Moen has good court vision, and she can work around the block and through the defenders with ease.
Bryanna Kluess – Middle Blocker – Wisconsin Blaze 16 Black
Kluess did a really great job of working the corners. She was explosive in her approach and jump, as well as quick to the ball. Kluess is athletic and aggressive at the net on both offense and defense.

Emma Lober – Middle Blocker – G-Force 16’s Select
Lober has a high contact point and takes a fast swing through the ball. She is good at working the angles. Lober does a great job keeping the ball in front of her and seeing the court so she knows what to attack.
Jena Bunks Jena Bunks 5'9" | OH Xavier | 2025 State WI – 2025 – 5’9 – Outside Hitter – Xavier – FC Elite 15 White
Bunks makes really smart choices at the net and knows how to come up in big moments. She is equally effective from either pin. Bunks is not only strong on offense, but she has solid ball control making her a great six-rotation player.
Leila Arens – Outside Hitter – Midwest Penguins 14 Elite
Arens was making a lot of high level shots last weekend. This includes the deep cross corner shot that helps her score at will. But she isn’t all shots; she can pound the ball too.
Maggie Hahnke – 2024 – 5’10 – Outside Hitter – Appleton North – Wisconsin Blaze 16 Black
Hahnke comes in on the 2nd tempo set and turns it back to the 1 corner for the kill. She also takes a tough swing from the back court and makes herself available to swing on every play. Hahnke is a 6-rotation outside who is also consistent in serve-receive.
Marin Grossman Marin Grossman 5'10" | OH Hortonville | 2024 State WI – 2024 – 5’10 – Outside Hitter – Hortonville – Impact 16 National
Grossman is really long, giving her a super high contact point. This length also presents a really big block. Grossman can go over most blockers and pick her spot on the court.
Payton Morgan Payton Morgan OH Laconia | 2025 WI – 2025 – 5’10 – Pin Hitter – Laconia – FC Elite 15 White
Morgan was showcasing her south paw status while taking swings on the right side. As a lefty, she doesn’t necessarily hit extremely hard, but she always manages to tag the back line or deep corners. Morgan is effective, and her excitement for the game is contagious.
Sophie Dodd Sophie Dodd 5'8" | RS Hortonville | 2024 State WI – 2024 – 5’8 – Pin Hitter – Wisconsin Blaze 16 Black
Dodd is a lefty who takes a sharp approach angle and uses the block. She can block and is a more than valid offensive option from both pins. Dodd definitely had a knack for coming in clutch this past weekend.
