Club Team Outlook: Elite VBTC 17 Black

<p>Some returning and new faces create a dynamic squad at this age group for this club. Here are a few athletes to watch as tournaments get under way.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="137098" first="Brooklyne" last="Darby"]</strong> - 5’10 | OH<br /> A senior, Darby makes a switch in clubs this season and adds a dynamic offensive element to this team. She has some of the fastest arm speed in the region and that allows her to generate big pace on the ball. She averaged 3.18 kills per set while hitting .370 for Mason, earning her Athlete of the Year honors in the Greater Miami Conference for 2021.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="141716" first="Lilian" last="Entenmann"]</strong> - 6’1 | MH<br /> An offensive leader for Upper Arlington at 2.8 kills per set, Entenmann can terminate from any location on the floor. She can score well at the pins but will play middle for this team during the club season. She provides good energy and effort that complements her quickness and length at 6’1 that allows her to contact the ball high when attacking and to fill up space well above the net when defending. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="153895" first="Olivia" last="Fenstermaker"]</strong> - 5’6 | DS/L<br /> At Worthington Christian, Fenstermaker made things happen as an offensive threat as she averaged over four kills per set, earning 306 kills on the season. She is the primary libero for this team and has a big presence in the ball control phase. She reads the floor well and has good quickness. To complement her offense for her high school team, she also averaged over 13 digs per match. </p> <p><strong>Nadia Woodrow</strong> - 6’0 | RS<br /> Averaging nearly two kills and 4.1 assists per set for Worthington Kilbourne this recent high school season, Woodrow adds depth for this squad in a couple of roles. She has good size at 6’0 and so far has shown good command of this team’s offense when given the opportunity in their system throughout early tournament play. She has good potential and should develop her game further over the club season given their talent and competitive schedule.</p> <p><strong>Alexa Mader</strong> - 6’0 | MH/RS<br /> Mader averaged nearly two kills per set for Tippecanoe this past high school season. She provides versatility for this team offensively as she can be effective from the middle and at the opposite position. She has good length at 6’0 and is athletic in her footwork that leads to her approach and ability to close down hitters well when blocking.</p> <p><strong>Others to Watch</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="141715" first="Emma" last="Bebo"]</strong> - 5’8 | S</li> <li><strong>Katherine Donahue</strong> - 6’1 | MH</li> <li><strong>Jerilynn Koehler</strong> - 6’2 | MH</li> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="141717" first="Claire" last="Mrukowski"]</strong> - 6’1 | RS</li> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="141713" first="Meredith" last="Mrukowski"]</strong> - 6’0 | OH</li> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="141718" first="Alanna" last="Vavao"]</strong> - 5’10 | DS/OH</li> </ul>
