Club Preview: ’22s at Union

<p>We finally get to talk about available players at Union! I avoided the class of ’21 at Union because the entire roster of 18-1 UA are already committed. Additionally, those are the only class of 2021 players in the entire club. Listed below are all of the class of ’22 players from the state of Indiana on rosters at Union. </p> <p><strong>17-1 UA</strong></p> <p>The top 17s team in the club has a pair of solid, next-level players that can easily start for a number of small schools in the fall of 2022. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="85812" first="Estella" last="Kleffman"] </strong>can pass and defend with the best of them, and comes from a high-level, winning program in Trinity Lutheran. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="85816" first="Natalie" last="Lostutter"]</strong> is an exceptional right side that can take over a match if you let her. I love her fire and I love her relentlessness, regardless of the score.</p> <p><strong>17-2 UA</strong></p> <p>This is a full travel team as well, swapping between the top division at smaller tournaments and club divisions at the larger tournaments. Five players will be striving for playing at the collegiate level, headlined by <strong>AnneMarie Meagher, </strong>who, at 5-11, is the tallest on this program. She could be a three rotation hammer, a six-rotation outside or even see a little time as a right side if needed. The middles are occupied by <strong>Abbilynn Ruzanka</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="118248" first="Giavanna" last="Yowell"]. </strong>Both are standard Union middles; short, fast and smart. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="118245" first="Paige" last="Lawrence"]</strong> can run a 5-1 with this group, and is also listed as a DS because of her defensive prowess. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="118247" first="Sydney" last="Williams"]</strong> is probably a DS at the next level, but will see a little time as a left side, six-rotation player.</p> <p><strong>IN 17 Black</strong></p> <p>Union carries three levels of teams. The full travel teams are listed above. There are limited travel teams, who might go to the neighboring states to play some small to midsized tournaments. This is that type of team. The lone ’22 from Indiana on this squad is <strong>Ella Doddridge, </strong>a right side who has volleyball smarts for days.</p> <p><strong>IN 17 White</strong></p> <p>A truly regional team, this roster will play all of their tournaments within an hour or two of home. However, their aspirations to play at the next level have no such limitation. <strong>Amelia Hicks</strong> is a solid, athletic middle that should see some small college interest. <strong>Emma McCrary</strong> will play outside on this team, but has seen time in the middle as well. <strong>Jenna Rogers</strong> is a DS who will compete for the special jersey this spring.</p>
