'Bros That Set The Gauntlet On Fire

Teams made the best of the Memorial Day weekend celebrating in Milwaukee by playing volleyball. There was passing perfection and dynamic defense by a lot of players. The competition was tough on every court at every level, and the great liberos made it even more exciting! [player_tooltip player_id="171352" first="Ella" last="Guilfoy"] – 2024 – 5'9 – Roncalli (IN) – Academy 16E Yeti <ul> <li>Guilfoy's defense helped frustrate and whittle down the competition. She does a really nice job helping set up the out-of-system passes, and she has a tough serve to throw the opponents off. Guilfoy does a really nice job controlling the 1st contact and giving her team the best chance of running in-system. </li> </ul> [player_tooltip player_id="138650" first="Gigi" last="Navarrete"] – 2023 – 5'6 – Mother McAuley Liberal Arts (IL) – 1st Alliance 17 Gold – Committed to Northwestern <ul> <li>Navarrete's presence is electric. She has a low stance that gives her an advantage as she takes a fast first step to the ball and gets some really great defensive touches. I love to see a libero with speed and the ability to read, keeping her from going to the floor and making plays look easy. Navarette's platform is strong, and she plays with a really positive and competitive vibe. </li> </ul> [player_tooltip player_id="135989" first="Jaimie" last="Marquardt"] – 2024 – 5'9 – Libertyville (IL) – Sky High-Adidas 16 Elite <ul> <li>At 5'9 this gutsy 2024 from Libertyville High School commands the defensive game for her Sky High team. Marquardt has great quick-twitch reactions whether it is on defense or covering her attackers. She does a great job making an impact on every play. Marquardt's play is sure to draw the attention of some colleges. </li> </ul> [player_tooltip player_id="135961" first="Karina" last="May"] – 2024 – 5'6 – Adversity 16 Adidas (IL) <ul> <li>May is lightning quick and really great at covering her hitters. She is a smart player with an enthusiasm for the game. May does a good job of placing herself outside of the block and still in a position to read the hitters. She gives all-out effort, strong passing angles, and spirited leadership. </li> </ul> Stella Wurm – 2025 – 5'5 – Hamilton Southeastern (IN) – Academy 15E Venom <ul> <li>This 2025 knows how to take care of her corner where high-level attackers love to score. Wurm is joined by a few of her high school classmates (Molly Bach and Kennedy Tinch) on this club team, which does wonders for the team chemistry. Wurm creates plays by using her volleyball IQ along with focus. </li> </ul> Other Standout 'Bros: [player_tooltip player_id="178257" first="Alexis" last="Gardner"] – 2025 – 5'6 – Mukwonago (WI) – MVP 15 Blue [player_tooltip player_id="178042" first="Ashley" last="Hutter"] – 2025 – 5'6 – Pewaukee (WI) – Milwaukee Sting 15 Black Bays Keller - 2024 – Oconomowoc (WI) – MVP 16 Blue [player_tooltip player_id="122523" first="Claire" last="Luoma"] – 2024 – 5'7 – Franklin (WI) – Milwaukee Sting 16 Gold [player_tooltip player_id="135969" first="Delaney" last="Molloy"] – 2024 – 5'6 - Belvidere (IL)- Mission 16 Elite [player_tooltip player_id="122512" first="Georgia" last="Koscielak"] – 2024 – 5'5 – Whitefish Bay (WI) – Milwaukee Sting 16 Black Josie Tingelhoff – 2025 – 5'7 – Lakeville South (MN) – Northern Lights 15-2 [player_tooltip player_id="178225" first="Jumana" last="Martin"] – 2025 – 5'6 – Appleton North (WI) – FC Elite 15 Navy [player_tooltip player_id="66297" first="Kalliann" last="Cook"] – 2023 – 5'5 – Birch Run (MI) – MiElite 17 Mizuno Kati Berezowitz – 2025 – 5'3 – Burlington (WI) – Milwaukee Sting 15 Gold [player_tooltip player_id="135313" first="Lucille" last="Larson"] – 2024 – 5'5 – Northfield (MN) – Northern Lights 16-2   <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> Larson with the dig, Kunze-Hoeg with the dish, and with the 💥 for <a href="https://x.com/nlightsvball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@nlightsvball</a> 16-2 <a href="https://x.com/hashtag/PDGauntlet?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#PDGauntlet</a> <a href="https://x.com/PrepDigChris?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PrepDigChris</a> <a href="https://x.com/PrepDig?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PrepDig</a> <a href="https://x.com/PrepDigEvents?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PrepDigEvents</a> <a href="https://x.com/PrepDigMN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PrepDigMN</a> <a href="https://t.co/cay33jYi0O">pic.x.com/cay33jYi0O</a> — Breit Nelson (@BreitNelson) <a href="https://x.com/BreitNelson/status/1530660320406118402?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 28, 2022</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> [player_tooltip player_id="177422" first="McKenna" last="Garr"] – 2025 – 5'7 – Rush City (MN) – Northern Lights 15-1 [player_tooltip player_id="91878" first="Paige" last="Miller"] – 2023 – 5'10 – Kaukauna (WI) – FC Elite 17 Navy – Committed to Ohio Reagan Owens – 2025 – 5'3 – Tri-Valley (IL) – Illini Elite 15 Cardinal [player_tooltip player_id="178097" first="Samantha" last="Kohl"] – 2023 – 5'10 – Kettle Morain Lutheran (WI) – Milwaukee Sting 17 White Sydnie Hernandez – 2024 – 5'7 – Normal Community West (IL) – Illini Elite 16 Cardinal
