Early-Season Stars: Division I
Prep Dig Kansas features five Top Performers At the Kansas Klassic
In this article:
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="137163" first="Anna" last="Boezi"]</strong> - 2022 | Troy<br />
The Trojans are currently 9-1 on the season largely in part to Boezi’s contributions. At 3.5 kills per set, she leads Troy offensively with an efficiency of .556. At 6’2, she has good length at the net that impacts her team on both sides of the ball. When creating good spacing and timing around her setter she is tough to slow down through quick attack options. Defensively, she gets a lot of touches at the net as she has good patience and fills space well when blocking.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="114447" first="Lily" last="Cropper"]</strong> - 2022 | Lebanon<br />
The NC State commit has been steadily doing what she does well on both sides of the ball thus far for the 6-1 Warriors. She is among the state’s leaders in hitting efficiency at .504. Cropper is averaging about three kills per set while also contributing three blocks per match. She has a big arm and ability to contact high and with good heat. The 6’3 senior is the leader of a squad that has a good mix of veteran and young talent as she provides good consistency in her effort and impact night in and out.</p>
<p><strong>Jenna Lucas</strong> - 2022 | Watkins Memorial<br />
Lucas is having a huge season thus far as she is averaging 5.2 kills per set while hitting at a .558 efficiency. Ironically, her season high of 29 kills came in their lone loss of the season as the Warriors recently fell in five-sets to Bishop Watterson. Lucas is an athletic multi-sport athlete that is effective on the volleyball court in many ways. In addition to her ability to terminate from anywhere on the floor, she is also can set a block that applies good pressure on the opponent.</p>
<p><strong>Emma McCartney</strong> - 2024 | Chardon<br />
After a fairly slow start to the season offensively, McCartney has increasingly been able to find her opportunities to assert herself and her arm offensively for the 10-0 Hilltoppers. She has four consecutive matches in double-digit kills, including a season high 17 in a 3-2 win over South in that stretch of competition. She has a big arm that can produce power to challenge the block well or can be controlled to score with placement. McCartney is currently averaging 3.1 kills per set.</p>
<p><strong>Surahbi Srinivasan</strong> - 2023 | Dublin Jerome<br />
Srinivasan is a dynamic pin attacker that gets the most from her 5’10 frame. She develops good momentum in her approach work with an aggressive lift and arm at the end of her footwork. The Celtics are 10-1 overall to start the 2021 season and Srinivasan leads their offense in total attempts and in averaging nearly four kills per set. She is also terrific defensively as she leads Dublin Jerome at 10 digs per match. </p>
