Brown is a big impact athlete for the Minutemen as she fills multiple roles in their offense as both hitter and setter. At 6’1, she leads the team offensively at 3.6 kills per set and a team high .386 efficiency. In sharing the setting role, she dishes just over four assists per set. On the defensive side she collects nearly eight digs per match to go along with her 2.9 blocks. She has a high contact point, one that helped her establish her career high of 17 kills in her the first varsity match of her career.

Kings | 2026

OH
– Kings
McIntyre is the third piece to a Kings’ offense that has them competing well this season as they are 13-1 overall at the midpoint. At 5’10 and left-handed, she contributes two kills per set taking most of her swings from the right side, which helps create some good balance between the pins. She is competitive, swings aggressively, and plays with a lot of energy, which could be an x-factor for this team as they make their late-season move.
Cara Richter

Richter

MND | 2026
State
OH
– Mount Notre Dame
Richter is one the next big arms that is developing in the greater Cincinnati area. She is 5’11 and has veteran-like movement in her transition and approach work that allows her a lot of opportunities to move the ball around. She is holding her own in the GGCL as part of a tradition-rich program in MND. Richter averages 2.4 kills per set.
