– RS
McIntyre played significant time for a very good Kings team as a freshman this past high school season. She plays with a lot of energy and fire that helps to ignite her team, especially when she scores and blocks from the right side. She is a lefty that can take a healthy swing and has continued to improve her range upon contact.
Lizzie Larkins – S
The 5’8 setter runs a good offense as she has a collection of arms around the court that are capable of scoring, which means if she can balance her distribution she helps get them some space. She has a high contact point and is simple in her release with good use of force in her extension to get the ball to both pins when pursuing the ball.
Josie Nichols

Nichols is a primary offensive threat for this team on the left side. At 5’10, she can develop a high contact point when on time in the air and meeting the ball at the top of her jump. She has good potential to swing with power and range as she is aggressive with her arm. She contributes through six rotations and can score from the back row as well.
Mackenzie Higgins – L/DS
Higgins is the primary libero for this team and provides good floor presence in both phases of serve receive and defense. She prepares with a good base that is low and attentive to the play development across the net. Her balance and quickness all her reactions to pursue with good movement as she is not afraid to get to the floor when necessary to keep the ball alive.
Addison Nutley

Nutley provides some of the best length for this team at 6’0. She has steadily improved her presence and contributions as a middle as the quality of her footwork and movement has become more efficient. With good space around the setter and off the net she can use her arm well to score for this offense with good arm extension to contact the ball through quick middle options.

Kyle is a versatile contributor as she can fill roles as an attacker or in the passing and defensive aspects. She earned varsity-level experience as a starting libero during her freshman season in high school that has translated well to her club experience this season. She has good platform skills and range while also being able to apply good pressure at the service line.
