Bogard has a heavy armswing right inside the block and is a dynamic attacker. She is a fiercely competitive and disciplined blocker. Bogard is equally tough on both sides of the ball and plays sound off-blocker defense.
Lindsey Taylor Lindsey Taylor DS/L State WI – 2022 – Libero – 414 17/18 National
Taylor wasn’t really on my radar until she took a big swing by a division 1 commit and found a way to keep it playable. She had really nice defensive movement and got a lot of great touches and ups. Taylor did a great job of keeping her team in a lot of rallies.
Gracie Tallier Gracie Tallier 5'7" | DS/L Gilman | 2023 State WI – 2023 – 5’7 – Libero – Gilman – Wisconsin Ice 17 National
I really like what I’ve seen happening with Tallier under the coaching of Betty Lange. She has really blossomed as a defensive player, and she gets more and more consistent every time I watch her play. She fights to stay with the ball and get the solid first contact to put her team in system.
Hannah Moe Hannah Moe 5'11" | OH Oconto | 2022 State WI – 2022 – 6’0 – Pin Hitter – Oconto – Impact 18 National – Committed to UW-Oshkosh
Maya Wegand Maya Wegand 5'7" | OH Little Chute | 2023 State WI – 2023 – 5’7 – Pin Hitter – Little Chute – Impact 18 National
Wegand is an explosive jumper with a really fast armswing. I feel like if you blink, you might miss her all together. I think this makes her a really interesting combination with the likes of Moe. Moe takes really big powerful approaches and swings out of the back court as well as the front. She hits with a very heavy arm and provides a different trajectory. Between the two of them, they really keep defenses on their toes.
Lilly Bandle Lilly Bandle 6'1" | MB West Bend East | 2023 State WI – 2023 – 6’0 – Middle Blocker – West Bend East – I AM 17 Red
Bandle is active and aggressive. I’m not really sure she ever stops moving while she is on the court. Sometimes I can imagine she makes middle blockers nervous with all that movement and anticipation on the other side of the net.
Meg Pfannerstill Meg Pfannerstill 5'10" | OH Lakeland | 2024 State WI – 2024 – 5’10 – Pin Hitter – Lakeland – Wisconsin Ice 17 National
Pfannerstill is so springy and fast to get off the ground. She does a really great job of hitting a sharp cut and absolutely solid in serve-receive. The fact that she also does this playing up an age level is pretty impressive as well.
Samantha Perlberg Samantha Perlberg 5'10" | OH Chippewa Falls | 2023 State WI – 2023 – 5’10 – Outside Hitter – Chippewa Falls – Wisconsin Ice 17 National
The past couple times I’ve seen Perlberg play, I was impressed with her hitting, but I was actually more impressed with her defensive play this past weekend. She was absolutely locked in and did not let anything drop in the corners when she was playing middle back. By the end of the tournament, I did see the big swing I was looking for from her, but I was really impressed with her defensive growth since the high school season.
Haylee Soyk Haylee Soyk 5'7" | MB Abbotsford | 2023 State WI – 2023 – 5’7 – Middle Blocker – Abbotsford – Wisconsin Ice 17 Purple
Soyk takes a very aggressive approach and does a really nice job at finding the open court. She is super athletic and could make a studly outside hitter, but, of course, her teams always need a middle and she does a bang-up job out of the middle. With an explosive swing, she is very effective on offense.
