– Eaton
Baumann has a complete skill set as a six-rotation pin hitter. She can develop good power with her arm as well as provide stability in the passing and defense areas with her platform work. She upgraded her club experience this past season creating more opportunities for her to see bigger and better competition across the net, which is paying dividends. At 5’10, she is averaging a career best 4.8 kills per set and has over 1,200 career kills. Eaton, 19-5 overall, recently defeated Bishop Fenwick 3-1 to advance to the DII Southwest 3 district finals.

– Wyoming
With an unblemished 14-0 league record, Wyoming claimed the outright Cincinnati Hills conference title. With over 1,500 career kills, Cordes once again had a terrific offensive season averaging just over five kills per set for the third consecutive year. The 2022 campaign has been her best in efficiency as she has been hitting at a .466 clip through a high volume of work at the net. The Samford commit has a big arm and uses her strength and length well to terminate at a hight rate, 56% of her opportunities. Wyoming has a tough match up next versus Mercy McAuley on Wednesday.
Emily Klopp – Mohawk
Mohawk, the #3 ranked Ohio Division IV team, is 23-1 overall and the Northern 10 league champs. At 6’3, Klopp has been the offensive leader for this team all season as she has earned a career high 371 total kills. With her length, she has been a difficult match up for most opponents as she has earned double-figure kills in all by two matches this season. At times she is utilized at the pin but most of her 4.6 kills per set happen in the middle. She is terminating just over 50% of her swings with a solid efficiency at .370. Top-seeded Mohawk next takes on Carey in the DIV Mount Blanchard district final on Thursday.
