She is a very imposing blocker in the middle. She's an active player at the net and is willing to outwork her opponents to finish off points. Crelly has an improving swing, but also brings a balanced game with the ability to play in the back row and serve as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='226884' first='Faith' last='Cullen'], OH Brighton/Michigan Elite</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cullen is another player that is contributing in a lot of areas. She helped Brighton in a variety of roles, including DS and RS. She's an agile player with good instincts to make a tough defensive play.

This club season you have seen that athleticism and touch in her setting, which has brought out some powerful kills for her teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='226887' first='Izzie' last='Delacher'], S Rockford/MVA</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Delacher took on the lead setter role for Rockford as a freshman. She's a well-coached talent that has a lot of leadership qualities. A precision setter with a powerful serve, Delacher really has the sky as the limit for potential.
