Final Class of 2018 Player Rankings: 51-55

It’s officially summer time, and with that, it’s time to send off our 2018 players with the final rankings of their high school careers.

We’ve updated the Class of 2018 rankings now that their senior years of high school – and club volleyball – are over. Each day we will release more rankings until we get to the top five.

For now, here are the players that finished ranked #51-55. Congrats to them all and best of luck in the future! Thanks for all you did to make high school volleyball in Nebraska so amazing!

#51 – Ally Glaser, 5’9, OH/Libero, Papillion-LaVista (Nebraska Elite) – committed to Concordia University

You never really know where Glaser is going to show up on the volleyball court, but you do know that wherever she is, she’s going to make an impact. Perhaps the most versatile player in the state, Glaser has pretty much played every position during her high school and club years, including a stint as a MH that helped her Nebraska Elite 18 Envy team capture a bid to USAV nationals. She finished her career with the Monarchs with 476 kills, 144 total blocks and 159 digs.

#52 – Lindsay Nottleman, 5’4, Libero, Lincoln Pius X (Nebraska Juniors) – committed to Nebraska-Kearney

Nottleman was a steady and consistent defender as a two-year start for the Thunderbolts during her career at Lincoln Pius X. With more than 600 digs in each of the past two seasons, Nottleman had a total of 1,357 in her career. She was so good, she kept Nebraska recruit Emma Gabel from taking the libero jersey at Pius and also served at better than 94% with 60 aces in her career.

#53 – Erin Johnson, 5’5, Setter, Meridian – committed to Concordia University

Perhaps no single player has been more important to her team over the past four years than Erin Johnson has been to the Meridian volleyball squad. A starter since her first match as a freshman, Johnson guided the Mustangs to a combined record of 101-26 over the past four years – including 59-9 the past two years with two straight state runner-up finishes. Johnson finished her career with 3,055 assists, 1,595 digs and 186 ace serves.

#54 – Arleigh Costello, 5’11, MH/RS, Gothenburg – committed to Concordia University

Costello was a point-scoring machine for the Swedes during her time at Gothenburg. A three-year starter, Costello had a career-best 341 kills with a .226 hitting percentage and also had a career-best 47 solo blocks as a senior. For her career, the Concordia University recruit had 811 kills, 77 solo blocks and 75 ace serves. 

#55 – Taylor Quiring, 5’9, OH, Heartland – committed to Tabor College

Quiring is one of the best all-around athletes in the state for the Class of 2018, not to mention one of its best volleyball players. The Tabor College recruit posted 1,117 kills in her career, including 410 as a senior while hitting .304. She also finished with 86 ace serves, 93 solo blocks and 556 digs in her career with 35 aces, 23 solo blocks and 231 digs coming in 2017.
