Prospects among this league’s statistical leaders are as follows:</p>

Moyer has seen the most opportunities offensively for the Warriors. She leads the league in total kills with 153 for an average of 3.9 kills per set. As an outside hitter, she is terminating the ball at nearly 53% and is efficient as she is hitting .424.

<p><strong>Aaliyah Longshaw</strong> - 2022 | Yellow Springs<br />
The 5’6 senior is a big factor for the Bulldogs. She finished 2020 with 200+ kills and is their primary offensive threat this season. In 11 matches she has earned 135 kills for a 3.7 kills per set average. On the defensive side, she is one of three conference athletes that has collected over 100 digs so far this season. Although she is limited in her contact point given her size, she maximizes her athleticism well and swings with an aggressive and quick arm.</p>
<p><em>Defense</em></p>
<p><strong>Angelina Smith</strong> - 2022 | Yellow Springs<br />
Smith is one of the most complete athletes in the league regarding her productivity and contributions.

Smith currently leads with 29 total blocks and has 157 total digs, which is 30+ more than the next athlete in that category. She is third in total service aces with 39.</p>
<p><em>Setting</em></p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="137132" first="Isabelle" last="Thompson"]</strong> - 2022 | Dayton Christian<br />
Thompson is the current school record holder for total assists in a career for Dayton Christian. Her experience and court leadership are a key element to this team’s effort and success.
