Jordan Matkovics- 5’7- S/OPP- Class of 2023
Jordan has super soft hands and excellent court vision that has allowed her pick apart defenses and find her hitters everywhere. Because she is primarily a setter, when she does swing it is well placed and shocking to most who don’t know she has a cannon.
Mia Mayberry- 5’9- OH/MH- Class of 2024
Athletic and strong, Mia has developed quickly over the years and has been a reliable swing in both the middle and outside. A hard jump serve, she can place the ball strategically when need be, giving game winning points.
