Corrine Blackburn - MH | Bishop Brossart Blackburn made big strides over the course of the recent club season as she increased her footwork and physicality on both sides of the ball. The 6'3 sophomore middle is quickly advancing out of the raw quality of her skills and is gaining confidence as she is finding good offensive success in leading the Mustangs offensively at four kills per set while hitting .359. The Mustangs are 6-1 overall.   [player_tooltip player_id='68144' first='Chloe' last='Fortner'] - L | Cooper The senior Fortner, who recently committed to the College of Charleston, is leading the Cooper defense as the Jaguars are off to a solid 6-1 start. She is averaging just over 14 digs per match with a season high of 25 in their opening contest against Simon Kenton. She achieved the 20 dig mark again recently in a two-set match versus Collins. She brings a lot of energy to the floor that is key to this team's overall effort.   [player_tooltip player_id='68147' first='Maya' last='Hunt'] - S | Holy Cross Hunt enters her final season at Holy Cross after a terrific club season during which she helped guide her team to a USA national championships silver medal in the 17 American division while earning all-tournament honors along the way. She is approaching 1,400 assists for her career and should surpass that in the coming weeks. Hunt, committed to Marshall, is currently averaging nearly nine assists per set while among team leaders on the defensive side at 8.5 digs per match. She most recently dished 37 assists in their recent 3-1 win over Campbell County.   [player_tooltip player_id='107418' first='Macy' last='Lentz'] - S/RS | St. Henry Lentz, a transfer from Notre Dame Academy, has a complete skill set and is making good contributions all over the court for the defending state champions. Averaging 1.6 kills per set, she also has totals of 35 assists, 27 blocks, and eight service aces so far in 2022. The Crusaders recently took on top-ranked Assumption losing a tough 3-2 contest 16-14 in the fifth set. Lentz had a solid line with nine kills, 19 assists, and 19 digs.
