This year’s 16-1 Elite team has had quite a strong season, with a current 10-4 regional record. In the CEVA Open division, the team is currently ranked 19th out of 28 teams, coming up behind only 5 other 16s teams and competing successfully against 17s and 18s teams. It will be exciting to see how this team finishes the season out at Regionals. The Webfoot 16-1 Elite team is coached by Samantha Rouleau, a former Linn-Benton CC, OSU, and Corban University setter. Rouleau is assisted by Tory Bailey, a former collegiate libero; Aaron Kauffman, who previously assistant coached his college’s women’s volleyball team; and Chloe Asciutto Chloe Asciutto 5'10" | MB Camas | 2023 WA , a current Western Oregon University middle blocker.
Often on the court as a six-rotation outside hitter, Bones is a dynamic athlete who is really strong in both the front and back row. On serve receive, Bones is steady and disciplined, making perfect passes off of nearly every serve that comes her way. Bones is also a weapon from the service line, where her jump float serve proves deadly for opponents. In the front row, Bones has a quick approach and sees the court well, placing her hits nicely into open court and hitting down the line effortlessly.
Crawford runs the Webfoot 16-1 offense with incredible execution as the team’s primary setter. At 5’9”, Crawford is on the taller side as a setter, allowing her to run an effective 5-1 and act as a blocking and offensive weapon in the front row. Crawford combines quick feet and strong hands to put up beautiful sets consistently. She is disciplined on defense, whether she’s in the back row and diving to pick up a ball, or in the front row and putting up a solid block. Crawford sees the court well and has a great connection with her hitters, especially her middle hitters like Rhianna Lane Rhianna Lane 6’0″ | MB Siuslaw | 2025 State OR .
Highlights
Lane, a 6’0” middle hitter, is an offensive force to be reckoned with. Lane is fast and powerful, combining a quick and strong arm swing with an explosive approach to put the ball away with nearly every set that she gets. Lane and Crawford’s connection is so strong that blockers on the other side of the net have a hard time reading which play the two are running, often leaving open net for Lane to swing hard and hammer at the ball. Lane is also an effective and solid blocker and uses her height well to reach for most balls.
As the team’s primary libero, Krauss anchors the back row flawlessly. She moves around the court so seamlessly to cover her hitters, track and pick up tricky shots and hits, and put up sets to the pins when Crawford plays the first ball. Krauss is steady and consistent on serve receive, too, getting her feet to each ball quickly. And, from the service line, Krauss’s serve is tough and tricky for opponents to pass. Between Krauss, Bones, and defensive specialist Grace Ipsen Grace Ipsen 5’9″ | DS/L Roseburg | 2025 State OR , the Webfoot 16-1’s back row is incredibly solid and practically impenetrable.
Hitting from the outside and standing at 6’1”, Scholl is an unstoppable offensive weapon and puts the ball down with nearly every set that she gets. She uses her heavy arm and powerful approach to bury the ball from anywhere on the court, including from the back row, scoring consistently for her team. And, on serve receive and defense, Scholl is a strong and steady passer. She is an all-around effective athlete whose plays and impressive offense are fun to watch.
