Hannah Hanson Hannah Hanson 5'10" | S Rochester Mayo | 2023 State MN – 2023 – 5’10 – Setter/Right Side Hitter – Rochester Mayo (MN) – SMV 17-1 Black
Hanson was identified early as a raw athlete and she has the vertical to go along with her quick-twitch reactions. She is strong, skilled, and can contribute in a number of ways. Hanson flourishes as a setter, but she can also score as a hitter on a variety of tempos as well as off one foot.
Jaelyn Sivertson Jaelyn Sivertson 5'7" | DS/L Iola-Scandanavia | 2023 State WI – 2023 – 5’7 – Libero/Pin Hitter – Iola-Scandanavia (WI) – Wisconsin Ice 17 National
Sivertson brings a level of grittiness to her teams with her quick-thinking and physical style of play. She is quick in reaction, transitions smoothly, and reads the other side of the net. Her vocal and energetic style of play energizes her team and pushes them to the finish line.
Katherine Arnason Katherine Arnason 6'1" | RS Mahtomedi | 2023 State MN – 2023 – 6’1 – Right Side Hitter – Mahtomedi (MN) – Kokoro 17-1s
Arneson is a long lefty with a super high contact point and physical style of play. She can attack at different tempos and use a sneaky shot to score if need be. Arneson is a recruit with a very high ceiling and will be a great add at the next level.
Maggie Lile Maggie Lile 5'5" | DS/L Spring Grove | 2023 State MN – 2023 – 5’6 – Libero – Spring Grove (MN) – SMV 17-1 Black
Lile provides stability with her ball control, defense, coverage, and clean and accurate distribution of the second contact when needed. She is part of a strong and experienced SMV 17-1 Black squad that has finished in the top 3 at the Frostbite Festival, JVA MKE Jamboree, Mizuno Uni-Dome JVA Challenge, and the Odd Cup. Lile has a strong skill foundation and she will be a key element to keep SMV competitive.
Paige Decker Paige Decker 5'11" | OH Rochester Century | 2023 State MN – 2023 – 5’10 – Middle Blocker – Rochester Century (MN) – SMV 17-1 Black
Decker is sound, lively, and explosive out of the middle for SMV. She stands at 5’10 and can move well laterally at the net. Her defensive presence forces opponents to make errors and she’s steady and always working hard in transition.
Shannon Rusch Shannon Rusch 5'9" | OH Edgerton | 2023 State WI – 2023 – 5’9 – Right Side Hitter – Edgerton (WI)– Capital 17 Adidas
Rusch knows just how to take a fast swing on a tight set in order to beat the block and expose open court. She is dangerous on the pin for a skilled and smart Capital squad. Rusch can pound the split, or turn it down the line.
Taylor Petersen Taylor Petersen MB River Falls | 2023 State WI – 2023 – 5’10 – Middle Blocker – River Falls (WI) – Kokoro 17-1s
Peterson runs fast routes and does a great job finding high hands. She is also quite good at tooling the block while running a slide and has been really picking up steam since the high school season after a trip to the state quarterfinals. Peterson trains year-round with high school teammates Morgan Kealy Morgan Kealy 5'11" | S River Falls | 2023 State WI , Abi Banitt Abi Banitt DS/L River Falls | 2023 State WI , and Brianna Brathol Brianna Brathol 5'11" | OH River Falls | 2023 State WI .
