<p>Yay, the 2021 club season is about to start.  In talking with Maggie Griffin, Club Director at VCNebraska, she has this to say about her Elite teams:</p> <p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">VCN 18 Elite</span></p> <div class="kickstarter-compatible"> <div><em>"18 Elite features 7 Division 1 recruits.. [player_tooltip player_id="37535" first="Kali" last="Jurgensmeier"], [player_tooltip player_id="37528" first="Bekka" last="Allick"], [player_tooltip player_id="58797" first="Karsen" last="VanScoy"], and [player_tooltip player_id="37530" first="Mya" last="Larson"] are juniors competing on this team. Look for them to be one of the most offensive teams in the country."</em></div> <div><br /> <br /> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="37528" first="Bekka" last="Allick"]</strong> | 2022 | MB | Waverly | Nebraska<br /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="82642" first="Lauren" last="Dirks"]</strong> | 2021 | S | Lincoln Southwest | Hastings College<br /> <strong>Ellie Glock</strong> | 2021 | S | Wahoo | USC<br /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="37535" first="Kali" last="Jurgensmeier"]</strong> | 2022 | MB/OH/RS | Bishop Neumann | UNO<br /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="37530" first="Mya" last="Larson"]</strong> | 2022 | OH | Wahoo | Montana State<br /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="58186" first="Whitney" last="Lauenstein"]</strong> | 2021 | OH | Waverly | Nebraska <br /> <strong>Kylen Sealock</strong> | 2021 | OH | Pius X | South Dakota<br /> <strong>Liz Tomlin</strong> | 2021 | OH/L | Lincoln Southwest | Chattanooga<br /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="58797" first="Karsen" last="VanScoy"]</strong> | 2022 | L/DS | Waverly | Uncommitted<br /> Karsen moves up to play with the 18’s this year.  She’s a strong libero for Waverly High School.  The all-state HM Vanscoy is one of the elite defensive players in the 2022 class.  She has offers on the table and will be making her college decision soon!  Good luck Karsen.</p> <span style="font-size: 18pt;">VCN 17 Elite</span><br /> <br /> <em>"17 Elite is another stacked team with a few newcomers.. [player_tooltip player_id="58791" first="Masa" last="Scheierman"] (viewed in header) is finally able to play her own age division due to new rules as well as [player_tooltip player_id="58770" first="Ellie" last="Baumert"]. That shift alone stacks this team offensively. Outside [player_tooltip player_id="58771" first="Shayla" last="Meyer"] just committed to Ole Miss while Baumert is committed to Texas Tech. Karli Heideimann is only a sophomore but getting big looks from Power 5 schools. Coached by TaraMueller, former All-American Husker outside hitter."</em></div> <div> </div> <div>[player_tooltip player_id="58770" first="Ellie" last="Baumert"] | 2022 | S | Howell-Dodge | Texas Tech<br /> [player_tooltip player_id="58824" first="Peyton" last="Doucet"] | 2022 | L/DS | McCook | Uncommitted<br /> Peyton is a multisport athlete who travels from McCook to Lincoln to play club.  She led her team in digs with 435 and 357 serve receives.  She also plays basketball averaging 5.6 ppg and 3.5 rpg.  I’m excited to watch her play!<br /> <br /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="88299" first="Alexis" last="Gates"]</strong> | MB | 2022 | Lincoln Southeast | Uncommitted<br /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="58777" first="Regan" last="Haith"]</strong> | MB | 2022 | Lincoln Pius X | Uncommitted<br /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="59202" first="Karli" last="Heidemann"]</strong> | OH | Diller O’dell | Uncomitted<br /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="58805" first="Courtney" last="Holsteen"]</strong> | RS/OH | Lincoln Southwest | Uncommitted<br /> <strong>Jordana (Jordie) Nekl</strong> | L | Columbus Lakeview | Uncommitted<br /> Jordi transferred to Lakeview this season after playing OH at Shelby-Rising City her freshman and sophomore year.  She’s quick with a great read on the hitter to keep the ball in play.  She’s got a solid platform and defense to help keep her team in system.  She contributed 497 digs, 531 serve receives and 34 aces.  Watch for her to have a great club season.<br /> <strong>Abigail Myers</strong> | 2022 | MH | Blue Hill | Uncommitted<br /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="58771" first="Shayla" last="Meyer"]</strong> | 2022 | OH | Superior | Ole’ Miss<br /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="58791" first="Masa" last="Scheierman"]</strong> | 2022 | OH | York | Uncommitted<br /> Masa is an athlete with a huge upside.  She’s legit outside hitter who hits a heavy ball and can hold her own on defense.  I’m sure she’s being heavily recruited for the next level.<br /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="58801" first="Karli" last="Symonsbergen"]</strong> | S | Lincoln Southwest | Uncommitted<br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: 18pt;">VCN 16 Elite</span><br /> <br /> <em>16 Elite is a very similar team to last year with the addition of [player_tooltip player_id="59193" first="Grace" last="Baumert"] (who has always had to play an age group up) and [player_tooltip player_id="59207" first="Carly" last="Purdy"] who is from North Platte.

She will boost the level of this group tremendously.</em><br /> <br /> [player_tooltip player_id="59207" first="Carly" last="Purdy"]| OH | 2023 | North Platte HS <br /> Another player who travels to play in the Capital City, Purdy is a force at the net.  She had 334 kills, hitting an impressive .262.  She also plays basketball averaging 8.1 ppg and 7.6 rebounds per games.  Watch for this student athlete to reach for the stars this club season.<br /> [player_tooltip player_id="123534" first="Mady" last="Banitt"] | 2023 | MB | Waverly<br /> <p dir="ltr">High School Coach Terri Neujahr states:</p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Mady is just touching the tip of what she may become.  She is a really physical player who elevates well on the block and hits with power on the A and B.  She reads well and closes the block consistently.  She is excellent at looking a coach in the eye,  taking feedback, and making adjustments.  She is enthusiastic not only for herself but for her teammates.</em></p> <p dir="ltr">[player_tooltip player_id="59193" first="Grace" last="Baumert"] | OH | Howells-Dodge | 2023<br /> [player_tooltip player_id="123535" first="Lauryn" last="England"] | Malcolm | Setter | 2023<br /> [player_tooltip player_id="112002" first="Brooklyn" last="Fuchs"] <br /> <strong>Kara Kassebaum </strong>| OH | Waverly | 2023<br /> <strong>Alli Mullin</strong><br /> <strong>Elecea Saathoff </strong>| S/MH | Diller-Odell | 2023<br /> <strong>Faith Van Eck </strong>| L/DS | Lincoln High | 2023<br /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="59212" first="Abby" last="Wachal"]</strong> | Lincoln Lutheran | OH | 2023</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> </div> </div>
