Lanicek is tall and long middle presence that is very effective in the middle phase of the game on both sides of the ball. She leads the Senecas on offense at 3.5 kills per set and is scoring through an efficiency of .395. Terminating 50% of her attempts, at 6’1 and left-handed, she is tough to defend in the middle. She is an athlete that performs well in the biggest moments, which includes a season high 17 kills in a recent match versus Division I and #10 ranked St. Ursula of Toledo. Lanicek recently surpassed the 700 kills mark for her career, which complements her defensive presence well as she has 77 total blocks on the season, averaging 3.3 per match.

Shook is delivering career high numbers this season. She is averaging 3.3 kills per set while hitting at a team high .444 efficiency, which is very impressive as a pin hitter. Shook also swings with her left-hand, adding a unique dimension to the Senecas’ offense with their two biggest point scorers scoring through that side of their body. She has the best offensive versatility on the team as she uses her athleticism well to score through a variety of locations in the middle and at the pin.

The senior outside hitter has earned over 1,000 kills in her four-year career and is currently averaging 2.8 kills per set as the third viable and most experienced offensive option for this team. At a career high .309 efficiency, her success rate is at its highest given the offensive distribution has more balance than in previous seasons. Miller can create some big power and has good arm control to be able to swing to the natural angle or across her body down the line to keep the defense off balance or to find the open space. She is also among team leaders defensively at 8.8 digs per match.

Miller, Calvert’s setter, is averaging 10.2 assists per set for an offense that is averaging 13 kills per set collectively. In her first season as the varsity setter, the 5’6 junior is approaching 700 total assists on the season. She puts her hitters in good position to be successful given their offense is middle heavy and the numbers indicate they are hitting at a very good team efficiency of .321. One of the best stats among her trio of top hitters is that they are receiving near equal opportunities, which can create a big challenge for opposing defenses with the ball being set through a variety of attack points and arms consistently.
