Alicia Burgos Alicia Burgos 6'1" | MB Dominican | 2023 State WI – 6’1 – Middle Blocker – Dominican – I AM 17 Red
Burgos is seriously athletic and has really exploded onto the scene recently. She can be terminal from anywhere along the net. Burgos is a big impact player who runs smart routes, but more importantly, she is explosive off the ground and hits over a lot of opposing blockers. She moves well laterally and has the fast-twitch muscles to close down most attackers.
Ellie Connor Ellie Connor 5'8" | S DSHA | 2023 State WI – Setter – DSHA – RVA 18 Navy
Connor is a player who you can tell setting is really natural to her because her hands are fast and precise. She works in rhythm and her volleyball expertise guides her to who should get the ball and when. Connor plays excellent defense, and you really can’t miss taking a look at this gem.
Leah Soyke Leah Soyke 6'0" | MB Nicolet | 2023 State WI – 6’0 – Middle Blocker – Nicolet – Milwaukee Sting 17 Black
Soyke runs a great 3/gap route and consistently finds the split or powers through the block. She also has a nice soft touch and well-placed tip, both of which make her an offensive threat. She can jump and is quick laterally. I can see Soyke with the ability to control the net at the WIAA D1 level as a middle or potentially as a dominant right side hitter.
Lexi Bugajski Lexi Bugajski 6'0" | S New Berlin Eisenhower | 2023 State WI – 6’0 – Setter – New Berlin Eisenhower – Wisconsin Elite 17 Elite
Bugajski is versatile enough to run a 5-1 or 6-2, where she can attack while in the front row as well. She is a key force for New Berlin Eisenhower as well as Wisconsin Elite. Bugajski knows her volleyball and would be a great pick-up at the next level.
Malia Winchel Malia Winchel 5'6" | DS/L Oak Creek | 2023 WI – 5’6 – Defensive Specialist – Oak Creek – Wisconsin Juniors 17-1s
Winchel is a versatile player who played both Defensive Specialist and Libero while also stepping in to swing on the Outside and set for her Oak Creek team. She’s extremely athletic and knows how to make that deep postseason push. Winchel plays on a very strong club team with the likes of Natalie Harris Natalie Harris 5'7" | DS/L Racine Case | 2023 State WI , Abby Alan Abby Alan 6'0" | MB Burlington | 2023 State WI , and Sydney Selburg Sydney Selburg 5'8" | S Westosha Central | 2023 State WI , and the experience will be super beneficial to her game.
