Continue ReadingServing has always been an important part of the game, and it has evolved over the last few decades. If you remember old sideout scoring, if you couldn’t make your serve over and in, you couldn’t score. Today the service game is much more complex. From gnarly top spin jump serves, spot serving, and wicked jump float serves, players are learning that one of the easiest ways to get points is from the service line. These players have figured out the secret to being deadly from beyond the backcourt.
Hannah Vanden BergMilwaukee Sting 18 Black: This team wipes away the confidence of their opponents one serve at a time. Setter, Brianna Merkel (2019 – 5’11 – Franklin), is not only a smooth distributor, but also offers an offensive threat with her serves. Teammate Kaylee Kuecker (2019 – Defensive Specialist/Libero – Franklin) has a tough serve, too.
FC Elite 18 Navy: Senior, Alysha Brickl (2019 – Committed To UW-Parkside) tallied 108 service aces this past fall. Brooke Mosher (2021 – Committed To Illinois) and Hannah Vanden Berg (2019 – Committed To Marquette) both aced their opponents over 60 times this past fall. Their tough serving has been a challenge for the toughest opponents.
Keri WalkerWisconsin Premier 18 Teal: Top servers for Premier are Keri Walker (2019 – Committed To Northern State) and Taylor Ohm (2019 – 5’7 – Libero – Hartford). Not only do they produce points, but they rarely miss. These two are mentally tough, and their serve percentage shows that. They are consistent with their placement, and they don’t miss.
