Future College Teammates & Competitors Take on the Gauntlet

<p>The Prep Dig Gauntlet will boast over 40 committed athletes in the 17 Open Division. Let that sink in for a moment. That is an amazing number of athletes. And the number seems to be growing every day! Here is a list of athletes who will be playing together (or competing against each other!) at the collegiate level.</p> <h2>Teammates:</h2> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="91878" first="Paige" last="Miller"] (Libero, FC Elite 17 Navy) and [player_tooltip player_id="138648" first="Grace" last="Egan"] (Outside Hitter, 1^st Alliance 17 Gold) are both committed to attending Ohio State University. Paige is an outstanding libero who can read opposing servers and hitters well. She is scrappy and brings a lot of energy to the court. [player_tooltip player_id="138648" first="Grace" last="Egan"] is explosive, powerful, and simply an incredible athlete. Both will have an amazing impact on this impressive Big 10 program!</p> <h2>Competitors (by conference):</h2> <h4>Big 10</h4> <p>Ohio State University – [player_tooltip player_id="91878" first="Paige" last="Miller"] and [player_tooltip player_id="138648" first="Grace" last="Egan"]</p> <p>University of Illinois – [player_tooltip player_id="138658" first="Lily" last="Barry"] (libero/pin – Illini Elite 17 Cardinal)</p> <p>Purdue University – [player_tooltip player_id="138657" first="Kenna" last="Wollard"] (pin – Illini Elite 17 Cardinal)</p> <p>Northwestern – [player_tooltip player_id="138650" first="Gigi" last="Navarette"] (libero – 1^st Alliance 17 Gold)</p> <h4>Big East</h4> <p>Georgetown University - [player_tooltip player_id="138656" first="Kamryn" last="Lee-Caracci"] (middle/pin - 1^st Alliance 17 Gold)</p> <p>Xavier University – [player_tooltip player_id="138651" first="Annie" last="Eschenbach"] (middle – 1^st Alliance 17 Gold)</p> <p>Marquette – [player_tooltip player_id="91895" first="Molly" last="Berezowitz"] (libero - Sting 17 Gold)</p> <h4>SEC</h4> <p>Ole Miss - [player_tooltip player_id="138647" first="Kennedy" last="Wagner"] (pin – 1^st Alliance 17 Gold)</p> <p>University of Kentucky – [player_tooltip player_id="66328" first="Ava" last="Sarafa"] (setter – Michigan Elite 17 Mizuno) </p> <p>University of Tennessee – [player_tooltip player_id="73475" first="Sydney" last="Jaynes"] (pin – Northern Lights 17-1)</p> <h4>American Athletic Conference</h4> <p>University of Memphis - [player_tooltip player_id="138653" first="Jordan" last="Heatherly"] (setter/right side – 1^st Alliance 17 Gold)</p> <p>Tulane – Kaitlyn Thick (pin - New WAVE 17 Tsunami)</p> <h4>Patriot League</h4> <p>Loyola University Maryland – Ava Nepkin (pin – 1^st Alliance 17 Silver)</p> <p>Colgate University – Ava Shabes (setter – 1^st Alliance 17 Silver)</p> <p>Lehigh University – [player_tooltip player_id="119395" first="Olivia" last="Lasee"] (middle – FC Elite 17 Navy)</p> <h4>Atlantic Coast Conference</h4> <p>Syracuse University – Catherine Burke (middle – Adversity 17 Adidas)</p> <p>North Carolina – [player_tooltip player_id="61781" first="Zoe" last="Behrendt"] (setter – Sting 17 Gold)</p> <p>Wake Forest  - [player_tooltip player_id="91906" first="Elena" last="Dragani"] (setter – Sting 17 Gold)</p> <h4>Horizon League</h4> <p>UW Green Bay – [player_tooltip player_id="82921" first="Kaitlin" last="Schulz"] (pin – FC Elite 17 Navy)</p> <p>UW-Milwaukee – [player_tooltip player_id="91881" first="Kati" last="Goba"] (libero – Sting 17 Gold)</p> <h4>The Summit League</h4> <p>South Dakota State University – [player_tooltip player_id="82916" first="Sylvie" last="Zgonc"] (pin – Sting 17 Gold)</p> <p>North Dakota State University – [player_tooltip player_id="73468" first="Arianna" last="Blohm"] (middle – Northern Lights 17-1)</p> <p>University of North Dakota – [player_tooltip player_id="73496" first="Teagan" last="Timperley"] (setter – Northern Lights 17-2)</p> <h4>Conference USA</h4> <p>Florida International University – [player_tooltip player_id="61807" first="Kindyl" last="Kilar"] (pin – Sting 17 Black)</p> <p>Middle Tennessee State – [player_tooltip player_id="184100" first="Ally" last="Eckel"] (libero – Motion 17 Blue)</p> <h3>Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference</h3> <p>Bemidji State University – [player_tooltip player_id="151417" first="Hannah" last="Kos"] (pin – Motion 17 Blue)</p> <p>Concordia University-St. Paul – [player_tooltip player_id="88229" first="Ella" last="Christ"] (pin – Northern Lights 17-1)</p> <p>Minnesota State Mankato – [player_tooltip player_id="86659" first="Avery" last="Rosenberg"] (middle – Northern Lights 17-1)</p>
