With an aggressive serve that totaled a second-best 99 aces and being one of the top in assists with 648, Karin has put her name quietly in the running for one of the best players in NJ. Losing the team leader in kills (Lauren Schnailey) she will look to others to put the ball away for the Griffins.
Brooke Askin Brooke Askin 5'11" | MB Pope John XXXIII | 2021 State NJ – Pope John Paul XXIII
Look for this lengthy hitter to take on more responsibility for the Lions this upcoming season after graduating two all-state outsides.

She also added from the service line picking up 44 aces. Her connection with stand out setter Meaghan Lawrence will be vital for Pope John’s success.
