Top Teams Going into the Final Weekend of BRPL: 16 Elite

The final weekend is upon us for the Badger Region Power League, and the top teams are vying for the championship! The 16 Elite division is highly competitive with only one team currently undefeated in this 24 team field. Here are the teams with the best records going into the final weekend of the Badger Region Power League <h3>FC Elite 16 Navy</h3> This team has been dominant for the entire tournament. They have only dropped one set over the past four days of play. This team is confident, gritty, and powerful, a dangerous combination for any opponent they come up against. Libero [player_tooltip player_id="91878" first="Paige" last="Miller"] is an energizer on the court and an insanely talented passer on serve receive and defense. Setters [player_tooltip player_id="91894" first="Rachel" last="Koss"] and [player_tooltip player_id="91855" first="Macy" last="Herman"] feed their powerhouse front row efficiently and with great tempo. [player_tooltip player_id="82936" first="Taylor" last="Tetzlaff"], [player_tooltip player_id="91930" first="Payton" last="Chevalier"], [player_tooltip player_id="82906" first="Sydney" last="Bartels"], and [player_tooltip player_id="82915" first="Autumn" last="Flynn"] are just a few of their massive offensive athletes who not only can pound the ball but also find great spots on the court. <h3>FC Elite 16 White</h3> This FC Elite team is not far behind their Navy team in terms of talent and power. [player_tooltip player_id="91908" first="Monika" last="Stevens"] is a divisive middle with enough power and energy to fuel an entire team. Setter [player_tooltip player_id="91917" first="Kate" last="Bahrke"] is dynamic and feeds her hitters incredibly well. On defense, libero [player_tooltip player_id="91914" first="Ava" last="Rank"] is scrappy and never lets a ball drop. She lays out and picks up so many balls it is impressive. Pin hitters [player_tooltip player_id="119431" first="Finley" last="Charapata"] and Jacqueline Yancy are high-flying and solid athletes in all aspects of the game. <h3>WI Juniors 16-1</h3> [program_tooltip program_id='431479' first='Wisconsin' last='Juniors'] 16-1 have been a dominant force throughout this tournament. They run a very fast tempo game and outrun many of their opponents. Sydney Selberg is the leader running the offense. She is efficient and very hard to read. Abigail Alan is a powerhouse pin who has a high snap and is great in transition and out-of-system plays. Chase Podrez is very powerful on the pin as well and has big shots. Isabella Stoughton and Lillian Liebke put up a wall of a block that is hard for even the best hitters to penetrate. This is a team with everything they need to bring in wins this weekend. <h3>FC Elite 15 Navy</h3> When this team is on fire, they are unstoppable no matter who they are playing. Setters Brynn Janke and [player_tooltip player_id="122566" first="Emerson" last="Van Lannen"] are key athletes on this talented team. They set a fast pace for their hitters. [player_tooltip player_id="122532" first="Annalise" last="Patchett"] and [player_tooltip player_id="122497" first="Olivia" last="Baierl"] are both powerhouse pins who have insane potential and are solid athletes in all six rotations. Emily Nilson is an impressive middle who adds a lot of value to this talented team. <h3>[program_tooltip program_id='431537' first='Midwest' last='Penguins'] 16 Black </h3> The core of this [program_tooltip program_id='431537' first='Midwest' last='Penguins'] team has been together for several years and it shows. They play as one cohesive unit and have a gritty mindset. Their trio of pin hitters, [player_tooltip player_id="82949" first="Mya" last="Trafficante"], [player_tooltip player_id="91904" first="Aubrey" last="Berlowski"], and Alex Kiel are all impressive in their own respect. Mya is an all-around athlete with smart shots and outstanding defense and serve receive. Aubrey is a powerhouse pin who isn't afraid to rip the ball and earns a lot of kills. Alex has an insane vertical with a powerful swing and excels on defense. [player_tooltip player_id="91898" first="Olivia" last="Clinton-Ragonese"] and Ava Johnson run the back row and are very scrappy. Can't forget about [player_tooltip player_id="82954" first="Myla" last="Glaser"], a fast and dominant middle hitter who brings in huge points for this team! <h3>Impact 16 National </h3> This is a gritty team that finds a way to earn points. [player_tooltip player_id="119397" first="Samantha" last="Kempinger"] is a dominant pin hitter and all-around talented player. She makes huge plays for Impact and is a go-to hitter on this team. [player_tooltip player_id="91931" first="Kate" last="Henze"] and Karly Stamm are middle blockers with both talent and volleyball smarts. They swing very well off of gritty [player_tooltip player_id="91939" first="Alivia" last="Jeanquart"] who is an efficient setter and makes very tough plays look easy. She sets well against the flow of the game. Good luck to all teams competing this weekend in the Badger Region Power League!
