Emily played at libero this weekend and was a rock-solid defender in the back row. She was disciplined in her defensive movement, kept tough balls alive, and had clean, crisp form on serve receive. Emily was a stand out athlete for Ice in their gold division finish at Battle at the Bay.
Anna was a consistent force for her team. The 16 Open division of Battle at the Bay was a straight-up BATTLE for every point. And Anna stayed collected and confident throughout it all. She put up great sets and played tough on defense. Anna caught my eye with her clean form and consistency throughout the weekend.

I have seen Sade play several times this season, but she really stood out at Battle at the Bay. She was aggressive at the net and was always ready for whatever came her way.

Courtney can set and swing and is impressive at both. She played all six rotations. Courtney has clean hands and a good volleyball IQ. She is a smart player both as a setter and on offense. Courtney gets a high volume of touches every game and adds value on nearly every point.
