<p>Here is the second scouting report from the action in Lawrence.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Kenlye Carlson, 5'6”, L, Ottawa, ‘25</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Carlson is a defender who is not afraid to get her knees scraped up. She was all over the court in the [program_tooltip program_id='430209' first='Midwest' last='Juniors']' first match of the day against Club Fusion. The Ottawa product finished with seven digs and five serve receptions. Carlson did not see much varsity action as a sophomore and will look to have a larger impact in the 2023 season.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Abigail Toumberlin, 5'6”, RS, Ottawa, ‘25</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Toumberlin, who also plays softball, is athletic for certain. She finished with four kills in the two-set split against Club Fusion. She has an athletic frame and Community College coaches should give her a look over the next couple of years.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='731450' first='Mallory' last='Harter'], 5'5”, S, Wellsville, ‘25</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Harter is a solid passer who also plays good defense. She finished with six digs in the early match. She has an accurate and powerful serve and is a good floor leader.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Kennedy Zans, 5'10”, MH, De Soto, ‘25</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Zans is young and raw, but she has solid size and still plenty of time to develop her game. She led the [program_tooltip program_id='430209' first='Midwest' last='Juniors'] with four blocks and was tied with four kills. She is also a gifted softball player.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Meredith Swank, 5'11”, MH, West Franklin, ‘25</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Swank has one special element no one can coach, size. The West Franklin product had three kills and two blocks for the [program_tooltip program_id='430209' first='Midwest' last='Juniors']. West Franklin had a 31-5 team in 2022 and Swank will look to move up the Eagles' roster.</p>
