Here are a few athletes among the top 25 that had some movement among the class of 2023 rankings.   [player_tooltip player_id='114516' first='Brooke' last='Bultema'] - MB | #2 Bultema assumes the #2 position and is ranked as the top middle. The Kentucky commit has continued to prove her value in the middle since her dominance over the club season. An important factor for Ursuline a season ago, she has increased her numbers and effectiveness in 2022 as she averages 4.4 kills per set, up one kill per frame, while scoring on 54% of her opportunities.   [player_tooltip player_id='114560' first='Karis' last='Willow'] - OH | #3 Recently surpassing the 1,000 kills mark for her career, Willow already has over 200 kills on the season. She is averaging nearly seven kills per set while terminating 59% of her attempts. She is also averaging a career high 11.3 digs per match. Willow is a high flyer and will take her skills to Penn State.   [player_tooltip player_id='141694' first='Lauren' last='Yacobucci'] - S | #5 Yacobucci has continued to impress as she her stock has grown over the last year since leading Magnificat to the DI state title. She had a great club season and is once again at the helm of the Blue Streaks' offense dishing out a career high 11.9 assists per set. This is a high potential offense as they average 15 kills per frame and are hitting at a collective .350 efficiency thanks in large part to Yacobucci's talents. Yacobucci, an Wright State University commit, recently surpassed the 2,000 assists mark for her career.   [player_tooltip player_id='141710' first='Luca' last='Fickell'] - S | #11 Another setter on the rise is Fickell. She garnered a lot of attention over the club season and has not disappointed at all in transitioning back to her high school team and assuming the primary setter role. She has continued to grow in her assertiveness and distribution skills, which has St. Ursula playing some of their best ball in recent seasons. The Indiana commit is averaging 10.7 assists per set.   [player_tooltip player_id='169491' first='Clara' last='Vondran'] - #17 | OH In her final season with Bishop Watterson, Vondran is averaging career highs in attacking with 3.2 kills per set and defensively at 11.3 digs per match. As a key element for the Eagles in 2021, she continues to showcase her fluid movement, big elevation and contact point. When her feet get to the ball she can terminate over the block and with good pace after contact. She also leads her team in service aces.   [player_tooltip player_id='141697' first='Ava' last='Siefke'] - #21 | OH (*pictured) Siefke had a great club season during which she improved her skills, efficiency and confidence as a pin attacker and defender. As she has seen her opportunities increase significantly for St. Ursula this season, she has continued her success on the offensive side. She is averaging 3.0 kills per set and is hitting a team best .348, all while seeing the second most attempts for the Bulldogs. The Eastern Michigan commit also offers nearly two blocks per match for a team that continues to prove they are a contender through a tough schedule so far in 2022.   [player_tooltip player_id='141696' first='Ava' last='Hoying'] - #24 | OH Hoying is making a good go of her final year at Bishop Watterson. Sharing time on the left side during the club season, she has transitioned into a primary role for the Eagles seeing more opportunities offensively than a season ago. The Northern Kentucky commit is putting up good numbers at 4.2 kills per set and 11.3 digs per match.
