Raterman has taken the Bears by storm this year and is second on the team in kills with 66. A primary passer and defender for Ursuline. Part of a trio of newbies for the Bears making significant contributions.
Elizabeth Koenig Elizabeth Koenig 5'7" | S Ursuline | 2026 State MO – 5’7” – Outside/Setter – Ursuline Academy

The final part of the Bears trio is defender Gresham. She is 4th on the team in digs and gets her opportunity to pass when subs in. She should be in line as libero next year, which will be an easy transition.
