Rachel’s Top Tuesday Performers – 15 National

<p>Day 2 of nationals for the 14s and 15s divisions was AWESOME. There were some big wins and tough losses. I got to watch some truly great volleyball. Here are some top performers from Day 2 of nationals in the 15 National Division!</p> <h3>[player_tooltip player_id="178030" first="Karli" last="Molnau"] – Middle – Milwaukee Sting 15 Gold – Wisconsin</h3> <p>Karli is explosive and impactful. When she connects with her setter (which is often) she is nearly unstoppable. She is incredibly talented and can truly rip the ball. She also has great placement and puts up a massive block.</p> <h3>McKynzee Beddes – Outside Hitter – Club V 15 Ren Adam – Utah</h3> <p>McKynzee impressed me with her powerhouse hits and her stud defense. She was a leader and go-to hitter on her team. She stood out to me as a consistent and solid athlete who was a leader on the court.</p> <h3>[player_tooltip player_id="178223" first="Teegan" last="Charapata"] – Outside Hitter – FC Elite 15 Navy – Wisconsin</h3> <p>Teegan was smart, controlled, and powerful today. She made really great decisions and was consistent yet aggressive at the net. She transitioned well out of serve receive and was successful in out-of-system balls.</p> <h3>[player_tooltip player_id="182108" first="Thalia" last="Yancey"] – Outside Hitter – San Antonio Juniors 15 Adidas – Texas</h3> <p>Wow was Thalia impressive! She had an explosive approach and a high snap on the ball. Thalia manufactured points in all six rotations and was great on defense and serve receive as well. She mixed up her shots very well and was a fun athlete to watch.</p> <h3>[player_tooltip player_id="155044" first="Elle" last="Heckenlively"] – Middle Hitter – Premier Nebraska 15 Gold – Nebraska</h3> <p>Elle was a stud on the court. She ripped some balls today that made me go “wow.” She was a very engaged middle who executed on every ball she was given. She could pound the ball anywhere on the court and was very valuable as a blocker as well.</p> <h3>Chloe Fisher – Setter – LEVBC U15 National - Maryland</h3> <p>Chloe has really nice hands and a clean touch on the ball. She makes great decisions on the court, is a leader for the team, and runs a solid and consistent tempo ball on offense. Chloe has huge potential and is a key player on this talented team.</p> <h3>Kayden Green – Setter – OT 15 O Meg – Florida</h3> <p>Kayden is a really fun athlete to watch. She is super gritty; sets in the back row and swings in the front row. She is a go-to hitter and can pound a ball down the line. Kayden is an energizer on the court and brought in huge points today</p> <h3>Other Athletes to Watch</h3> <p>Ryelle Rondo – Middle – Union 15-1 UA – Indiana</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="136604" first="Megan" last="Consigny"] – Libero – Lions 15 Read – Illinois</p> <p>Trinity Richey – Setter – Drive Nation 15 Black – Texas</p> <p>Yemeli Akaya – Middle – LEVBC U15 National – Maryland</p> <p>Kierstin Bevelle – Outside Hitter – OT 15 O Meg – Florida</p> <p>Kendall Martin – Libero – Drive Nation 15 Black – Texas</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="189347" first="Chloe" last="Livingston"] – Outside Hitter – Premier Nebraska 15 Gold – Nebraska</p>
