118. [player_tooltip player_id='152149' first='Faith' last='Henke'] – 5'10" – Outside – St. Dominic/ HPSTL   St.Dominic seems to reload every year with top-notch talent. Henke was a big part of the success for the Crusaders last year as she played outside and middle and finished the year with 150 kills and 2nd on the team in blocks with 62. This year, keep an eye on Faith; her offensive numbers should jump up and fill a void on the team lost to graduation.   119. [player_tooltip player_id='152150' first='Grace' last='Weikel'] – 6'2" – Middle – Visitation/[program_tooltip program_id='428799' first='Rockwood' last='Thunder']   Grace has all the makings of a great middle at the next level. Height, wingspan, speed, vertical, and power will help her get by her opponent's block. She moves literally to close the pins and transitions off with great footwork and comes in to hit over the blockers in the middle. Grace also has a nice slide that, once perfected, will be dangerous.   133. [player_tooltip player_id='170833' first='Gisele' last='Bolzenius'] – 5'10” – Outside – Borgia/[program_tooltip program_id='428760' first='Core' last='STL']   Hard to crack the lineup at Borgia last year with their senior class, but this year should be Gisele's year to shine. Make sure to watch her kill numbers skyrocket. A high-flying and powerful outside should help the Knights tremendously this year in front and backcourt.   134. [player_tooltip player_id='170834' first='Madi' last='Ulrich'] – 5'10" – Rightside – Borgia/[program_tooltip program_id='428799' first='Rockwood' last='Thunder']   Another player stuck behind a dominating senior class at Borgia saw limited playing time but watch for her to have a breakout senior year. Whether she plays on the right or in the middle she has the height and power to be successful and give the Knights a big block.   140. [player_tooltip player_id='196155' first='Molly' last='Schroeder'] – 5'5” – Libero – Borgia/[program_tooltip program_id='428799' first='Rockwood' last='Thunder']   Schroeder should be able to step in right away at libero for the Knights and help lock down the defense. Molly has the speed, volleyball IQ, and club experience to help her control the backcourt. Having graduated ten players from the team last year getting ball control down will be crucial for another successful season.
