They are fun to watch and have great chemistry on the court. Libero <strong>Katherine Walch</strong> (Prep Dig Rank #24, Uncommitted) is controlled yet manages to get a touch on everything that crosses the net. Setters <strong>Kalli Mau</strong> (Prep Dig Rank #37, Uncommitted) and <strong>Rachael Bohlman</strong> (Prep Dig Rank #52, Uncommitted) run their offense smoothly and rarely make mistakes.  </span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Midwest Penguins 18 Black</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The core of this Penguins team has been together since they were in middle school, and it shows. They trust each other and have a ton of fun when they play. On top of that, they are a group of extremely talented athletes. <strong>Anna Rossner</strong> (Committed to UW-Lacrosse) is a dynamic middle with a lot of speed. Outside hitters <strong>Hannah Siebert</strong> and <strong>Sophia Clinton-Ragonese, </strong>both uncommitted, have a lot of power behind their swings and are able to place balls well. </span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Milwaukee Sting 17 Gold</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This insanely talented team did not drop a single set over the course of their six matches. Four of their players are in the Prep Dig top 5 ranking spots: <strong>Kiara Reinhardt</strong> (Prep Dig Rank #2, Committed to Creighton), <strong>Aubrey Hamilton</strong> (Prep Dig Rank #3, Committed to Notre Dame), <strong>Kaley Blake</strong> (Prep Dig Rank #4, Committed to UW-Milwaukee), and <strong>Elise Goetzinger</strong> (Prep Dig Rank #5, Committed to Kentucky). Libero<strong> Caitlin Crawford</strong> (Prep Dig Rank #14, Committed to South Carolina) made a huge impact throughout the State Tournament and continues to do so on this extremely talented team. Outside hitter <strong>Julia Treichel</strong> (Prep Dig Rank #15, Uncommitted) is an amazing outside hitter with power, control, and just a great read of the court. </span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Motion Volleyball 18 Blue</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The offensive power this team has is insane. Between <strong>Anna Nerad</strong> (Prep Dig Rank #25, Committed to UW Milwaukee), <strong>Hannah Brown</strong> (Prep Dig Rank #38, Committed to Bellarmine), and a slew of other talented hitters, this team will go far throughout the Badger Power League. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The first weekend of Badger Power League was a good one, with two more full weekends of volleyball to go. As the league continues, teams will shift around and there will be some truly awesome volleyball to come!</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
