Week 2 – Wisconsin Recap

<p>The season is rolling now.  Teams are finding their rhythm and discovering injuries.  Prep Dig has been having a blast hearing from our followers on Twitter and Facebook and sharing your successes.  Let’s take a quick look at what has happened in Week 2 (August 27^th-September 1^st) of the high school season. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="10220" first="Hannah" last="Vanden Berg"] – </strong>2019 – 5’11 – Pin Hitter – Little Chute – Committed to Marquette</p> <p><strong>Gabi Roemer </strong>– 2019 – Setter – Little Chute – Not Committed</p> <p>Vanden Berg has hit a blistering .603 this week in 4 matches as she tallied 41 kills, while only committing 6 hitting errors.  She is the definition of efficiency right now, while averaging over 6 kills per set this season so far.  Of course, Vanden Berg can’t set herself the ball, so thankfully she has Roemer to do just that! Roemer is averaging over 10 assists per set right now and had a season high 28 assists on Thursday, August 30^th against Clintonville.  Vanden Berg and Roemer have been the catalyst in Little Chute’s current 12-0 start.</p> <p><strong>Chloe Wallach</strong> – 2019 – Outside Hitter – Bradford – Not Committed</p> <p>Wallach is making a push for an outstanding senior campaign. Bradford went 5-4 this week with Wallach racking up 111 kills for the week,  including a season high 22 kills against Prairie.  With a current career total of 973 kills, she is on pace to join the 1,000 kills club.</p> <p><strong>Jordan Buelow – </strong>2021 – 5’4 – Setter – Baraboo – Not Committed</p> <p>Baraboo is off to a 9-4 start to their season, and Buelow is a big part of that success.  She runs a 5-1 as a sophomore setter, and she is currently averaging over 9 assists per set.  Baraboo took out Madison East early in the week and then lost a battle with Mount Horeb on Thursday, August 30^th.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="33161" first="Hanna" last="Nest"] – </strong>2019 – 5’8 – Outside Hitter/Middle Blocker – Mosinee – Not Committed</p> <p>Nest is a big reason for Mosinee’s 15-4 start to their season.  She is currently on track to hit 1,000 kills if she can keep up with her current pace.  She has been dynamic at the service line, as well with 37 aces so far this season.  Mosinee went 3-1 this week, including a solid conference opening win over Antigo.</p> <p><strong>Maddy Neumann</strong> – 2020 – 5’6 – Setter – Green Bay Preble – Not Committed</p> <p>Neumann has lead Preble (7-6) in some serious battles this week, and while they went 2-3, their 3 losses came to very strong teams this season, Mercer (twice) and Shawano Community.  Neumann has been a major threat from the service line, tallying 37 aces so far this season.  Twenty-two of Neumann’s 37 aces were in the 5 matches this past week, including a career high of 8 aces against Green Bay West.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="33038" first="Hannah" last="Brown"] </strong>– 2019 – 6’0 – Middle Blocker/Outside Hitter – Germantown – Not Committed</p> <p>Germantown (11-5) had a little bit of a rough start against some tough competition, but they hit their groove this past week going 6-0.  Brown has been controlling the net with 56 total blocks so far this season.  She also leads her team with 81 kills, including recording a season high 9 kills in 3 different matches this past week.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="56139" first="Sophia" last="Lee"]</strong> – 2020 – Middle Blocker – Lake Mills – Not Committed</p> <p>Lee is averaging an impressive almost 3 blocks per set. She has helped lead Lake Mills to 6 straight wins to start the season, but they have dropped their last 2 to tough teams, Waunakee and Luther Prep.  Lee will continue to control the net and add to her 39 blocks as Lake Mills continues conference play this week.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="80266" first="Kaydee" last="Johnson"] – </strong>2020 – 5’6 – Libero – Marshfield – Not Committed</p> <p>Marshfield (5-13) does not have an easy schedule, but they have already shown a great deal of improvement.  This past week they won their opening conference match-up with Wisconsin Rapids Lincoln, and Johnson led the defense recording a career high 32 digs.  Johnson tallied 91 of her 210 digs in this past week’s play helping Marshfield to go 3-3 for the week.</p>
