In this article:
<p>Indy Cup featured a top-level division of some of the best U15-U17 teams and prospects in the Midwest competing against each other. Here are a handful of athletes that made an impact.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="173248" first="Reese" last="Dunkle"] - MB | 2025</strong><br />
At 6’0, Dunkle is a skilled middle and the biggest offensive threat for Circle City’s highly ranked and dynamic 15 Purple team. She has good footwork and develops a great relationship with her setter with her spacing and timing. She has great range in her arm and can also score effectively off one foot overhead. Defensively, she uses her vision and quickness well to put pressure on opposing hitters. </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="173245" first="Isabelle" last="Brown"] - S | 2025</strong><br />
Brown is the next best setter to be developing through the Circle City juggernaut. She has good movement around the floor and can distribute the full range of the court with consistency of tempo and location when in system or on the move. She also does a great job of taking advantage of her own offensive opportunities at the net. Her floor leadership helped this 15U team compete into the gold bracket among top U16 and U17 teams at this event.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="110515" first="Riley" last="Whitlock"] - OH | 2024</strong><br />
Whitlock has great point scoring ability. At 6’0, she brings a big arm at both pins. Her footwork ends with good step-close action that allows her to utilize her elevation well and create good balance in the air and maximize her contact point. Her arm control also allows her to hit with good range to keep opposing defenses off balance. </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="99590" first="JaNyah" last="Henderson"] - MB | 2023</strong><br />
Athletic and physical. The 5’11 Henderson has terrific tools to be an impact middle for a quality Rev team. She gets off the floor quickly and can move the ball around with her arm utilizing pace and range to get the ball on the defense fast. She had several big moments on the weekend that included her leading her team in taking down Circle City’s top-ranked 17 Purple squad.</p>
<p><strong>Macey Rocco - S | 2023</strong><br />
Rocco is athletic and has good instincts in her setting decisions that can make a big impact, especially when combined with her tempo and location abilities. She is the key element for her team and if they have ball control that allows for varied distribution and balance offensively then her ability helps create good space for her attackers. </p>
