Schnichels brings great length and mobility to the pins. She is developing into a dynamic attacker, which bodes well for her current and future club and high school prep career. She has a nice double-arm lift at the end of her approach pattern that allows her to be elevate well and be on balance in the air. Her length creates a high contact point that is difficult to defend, especially when contacting the ball at the peak of her jump. Her strength and comfort appears to be on the left pin but she can terminate at opposite as well. As she continues to develop more comfort in crossing patterns she will become increasingly dangerous and an even more viable point-scoring option with added offensive versatility.

Bolles is fun to watch. She is very active throughout the flow of a point and can contribute to her team’s success in a number of ways. A Northwest Suburban all-conference selection as a ninth grader in 2019 for her Andover high school team, she brings great maturity and competitiveness to the floor. She is a true six-rotation outside hitter with great elevation and ability put heat on the ball through a variety of zones. Her ball control is also solid and she covers the floor well defensively. Another key element to her game is in her blocking. She makes a dynamic move through good vision and in using her arm work well get up and over fast. She is a key cog in the MN Select 15-1 arsenal and is very much worth a good look.

Mueller provides a great presence on the left pin for this KEVC squad and she brings great varsity experience to the floor having been a key offensive option for a Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa squad that concluded their 2019 campaign at the state tournament. Mueller is confident and aggressive and does not seem to waste her opportunities by compromising these elements of her game play. She appears to have good awareness of what her hitting opportunities provide her and makes good decisions that score points and apply pressure to the defense while also minimizing her errors. Her length and power also can work in her favor when challenging the block. Increased foot speed and quickness through her attack patterns will elevate her game well and increase her stock.

Hanson is an athlete. Shy of registering in at 5’9, she has good springs that complement her quickness very well. Her athleticism also lends well to her range of skills. She has the ability to contribute in a variety of ways. What is most impressive is her ability to score as an attacker. She can do damage in the middle with good movement and ability to hit quicker tempos and off one foot overhead. She can also swing effectively as a truer right side pin hitter, which includes the slide option. She has a nice arm and can generate good power with her aggressive nature and is not phased by any size block that might be in front of her. She is a spark plug indeed.
