MN
– 6’0 | S | High School: Elk River
Cotton was a key element in Elk River’s run to the 2019 state tournament. Playing a dual role as setter and pin attacker, her versatility and athleticism is a huge part of her game. She will serve as the team’s primary setter and has instincts and maturity that rival the most experienced athletes.

– 6’0 | MB | High School: Maple Grove
A 2019 NW Suburban all-conference selection, Cyr has a heavy arm and can score points with good arm control that accompanies the power. She works hard to make herself available in transition and earns a lot of opportunities due to her effectiveness. Her point scoring is multidimensional in that she can terminate from various attack points in front and behind the setter.
Brynn Reines

– 6’1 | OH/Opp | High School: Rogers
A dynamic pin attacker, Reines has good vision and arm control that make her an effective option offensively. She has good footwork, quickness, and movement off the net and in pursuit of the set to attack. The 2019 NW Suburban all-conference selection is long and rangy at 6’1, combined with good elevation, she can move the ball around and score with power and finesse. She has also shown to be effecitve on both sides of the ball from either pin.

St. Michael-Albertville | 2022
State
MN
– 5’11 | OH/Opp | High School: STMA
Krystosek helped STMA to a terrific high school season in 2019. A crafty attacker, she has the ability to hit with power and range. She is quick and athletic with good arm speed to match. She sees the court well and her vision allows her to cut the ball with pace, make a needed shot, or challenge the block effectively. A versatile athlete, she can score points from both sides of the court and through a variety of tempos and attack points.
Megan Wetter – 6’1 | MB | High School: Monticello
Wetter provides good size in the middle. As there is more of a raw quality in her skill set compared to the dynamic nature of some of this team’s pin attackers, she will benefit greatly from the level of competition and pace of play this squad will see throughout the club season. She has a good foundation in her footwork and pursuit of the ball when attacking. She can attack with a high elbow and contact point that can be difficult to defend. With increased quickness in transition and and more dynamic movement laterally when blocking, she has potential to grow her stock and impact level for this squad.
