State
#77
Nation
OH
– DS/L
Codling had a great high school season this past fall as the Seton product finished second in the GGCL in total digs with 462 fora. 4.9 d/s average. She has good read to react engagement in the back row and with increased balance and patience she will improve her first-step pursuit to increase the efficiency of her movement and impact of her angles. She was a GGCL honorable mention selection.
Lucy Heid – OH
The 6’0 pin hitter has some of the best athleticism and elevation on this team. She was solid for her Badin team during the high school season averaging 2.7 kills per set while hitting a career best .262 efficiency, helping them to a semifinals appearance in the DII state tournament. When on time through quick tempo pin options she can hammer the ball with good pace.
Ashley Sess

With an average of 1.8 kills per set and a .390 efficiency, Sess did enough offensively to allow Mercy McAuley’s pins to be productive as the Wolves had a good postseason run to the DII regional finals round. She has the best size on this team at 6’3 and will anchor their middle production on both sides of the ball. Sess is effective offensively in front of the setter and shows good slow-to-fast mobility and momentum to take big swings off one foot overhead.
Caroline Moore

Mercy McAuley | 2025
State
OH
– RS
Moore was the second best offensive threat for Mercy McAuley during the high school season as the right side attacker terminated 215 total kills to finish top-10 in the GGCL. She also led the Wolves in total blocks with 41. Her presence at the right pin will help develop good balance in this team’s offense as that even involvement of their core group of hitters could be an x-factor for their success.
Olivia Schmidt

Badin | 2025
State
OH
– MB
Schmidt is a 6’0 middle with ability to contribute well on both sides of the ball. She terminated 1.8 kills per set for Badin this recent fall while finishing top-five defensively in total blocks. She has good vision of the defense in front of her at the net and when on time and with good space she can put some good power behind the ball.
