It’s the place to be this weekend if you have anything to do with the sport of volleyball.
Triple Crown brings only the best of the best. From the teams, to the coaches, it’s all here. This is for all of the college coaches coming out to NIT this weekend. With recruiting purposes, we’re breaking down some of the top teams coming from Michigan.
Here’s who you need to KNOW and here’s WHERE you can find them.
18s Division
FaR Out 18 Black
Schedule
7:30 AM VS. Bama Elite CT. 44
9:30 AM VS. South County CT. 44
12:30 PM VS. SASVBC G CT. 44
Key Players
Kendall Hopewell Kendall Hopewell 6'1" | MB Forest Hills Northern | 2024 State #193 Nation MI (Northern Kentucky), Carley Piercefield Carley Piercefield 5'4" | DS/L Lakewood | 2024 State #90 Nation MI (Western Michigan) & Navea Gauthier Navea Gauthier 6'1" | OH Shelby | 2025 State #56 Nation MI (Ohio State)
Uncommitted Watch
Alana Bailey Alana Bailey 6'0" | MB East Kentwood | 2025 State MI – 6’0 MB
NOTES
It’s a bit surprising to see this team not included into this year’s 18s Power Pool. FaR Out 18 Black returns a majority of its roster from a season ago. In 2023, this group not only won the Emperor’s Cup as 18 Black, but as 17 Black, they placed top 5 at AAU Nationals in 17 Open. Despite being without OH Isabelle Swiercz Isabelle Swiercz 6'2" | OH Hudsonville | 2024 State #110 Nation MI this weekend, this group has major depth. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this group finish amongst the top quarter in the 18s Division.
Michigan Elite 18 Mizuno
Hailey Green Hailey Green 5'1" | DS/L North Branch | 2024 State MI – North Branch | Allison Pilat Allison Pilat 6'2" | OH Plymouth Christian | 2024 State MI – Plymouth Christian | Avery Woodard Avery Woodard 5'7" | S Marysville | 2024 State MI – Marysville |

Uncommitted Watch
Saige Martin Saige Martin 6'0" | MB Pewamo Westphalia | 2024 State MI – 6’0 MB/RS; Avery Woodard Avery Woodard 5'7" | S Marysville | 2024 State MI – 5’7 DS/L/S
NOTES
This team has a whole different look to them then seasons prior. With new additions such as Taylor Smith Taylor Smith 6'1" | S Pewamo Westphalia | 2024 State MI (Eastern Michigan), Lydia Michelin Lydia Michelin 6'0" | MB Milford | 2024 State MI (Miami (OH)) and Saige Martin Saige Martin 6'0" | MB Pewamo Westphalia | 2024 State MI , this team not only boasts size but they add some much needed fire power. 18 Mizuno has been showing strides in the past couple of tournaments as they continue to gel. Triple Crown could be the very place you see it all come together for them.

Uncommitted Watch
Mia Cibor Mia Cibor 5'6" | S Orchard Lake St. Mary's | 2024 State MI – 5’6 S/DS
NOTES
This could be quite the sleeper going into this weekend. They surprised many last season when they snatched a top ten finish at AAUs in the 17 Open. When this team gels together, it can be a pretty formidable force. With some top notch first contact between Geer and Gallagher, they can score pretty efficiently off of Lucy Mott’s (Boston College) touch. Legacy also has some nice size to slow down some of the biggest arms at the net.

NOTES
Coming off of some serious Bid-ness at OVR the other week, 18-2 Adidas is riding a huge wave of momentum. While it may be an uphill battle, i am excited to see how this team does against some of the best teams in the country as technically a 2s team. They’re equipped with a real scrappy backline that fuels a relentless offense.
17s Division
Michigan Elite 17 Mizuno

Uncommitted Watch
Katerina Stout Katerina Stout 6'3" | MB Macomb Dakota | 2025 State MI – 6’2 MB
NOTES
A fifth and third place finish at Northern Lights and Central Zone, 17 Mizuno has gotten themselves off to a great start in 2024. With almost its entire roster returning from last season, this team shines through its chemistry. Ella Craggs Ella Craggs 5'9" | S Northville | 2025 State #127 Nation MI (Illinois State) is operating her offense as one of the best in the country. The lone addition to the team, Katerina Stout Katerina Stout 6'3" | MB Macomb Dakota | 2025 State MI has been a welcome addition with her size at the net. This weekend will be without star middle blocker, Victoria Gray Victoria Gray 6'2" | MB Bedford | 2025 State #100 Nation MI , however. This offers up a lot of different looks going into the weekend.

NOTES
This is going to be another serious contender to reign atop the podium. 17-1 Adidas has all that you could want on their roster. From someone like Campbell Flynn Campbell Flynn 6'2" | S Mercy | 2025 State #4 Nation MI (Nebraska) running the offense, to the sheer size at the net with Olivia Grenadier Olivia Grenadier 6'1" | MB Country Day | 2025 State #91 Nation MI (Colorado) & Addison Williams Addison Williams 6'2" | MB South Lyon East | 2025 State MI , they also boast some nice first contact led by Devin Dzienny (Florida). I wouldn’t be shocked if this group finds themselves amongst the top 8 on Monday. They’re coming off two runner-up performances at both Central Zone & The Nike Classic.

Uncommitted Watch
Entire roster but Brown & Barnes
NOTES
Much like their 18s counterpart, this is another 2s team that can give the 1s a run for their money. With a stout line in the back court headed up by Alivia Brown Alivia Brown 5'9" | DS/L Temperance Bedford | 2025 State MI (Bowling Green), 17-2 Adidas can hang in the rally with some of the best. They’ve got options along the net with Arynn Randle El Arynn Randle El 5'11" | OH Detroit Country Day | 2025 State MI showing out to be one of the shining stars of the early season.

Karis Chatfield Karis Chatfield 5'11" | OH Jenison | 2026 State MI , Mallory Johnson Mallory Johnson 5'6" | DS/L Byron Center | 2027 State MI and Ava Bush-Nelson Ava Bush-Nelson 6'1" | MB Jenison | 2027 State MI
NOTES
This is another team that I am surprised to not see in the power pools at Triple Crown. As 15s, this was a power pool team. At 16s, this team only gets better in all facets of the game. Between Chatfield and Johnson, this team cruises on the first contact. Then to terminate, Chatfield is a go-to for sure. However, Bush-Nelson and Madeline Ostrander Madeline Ostrander 5'11" | MB Grand Rapids Catholic Central | 2026 State MI are coming along tremendously as efficient attackers in the middle. This is very much a team that could find themselves in the elite bracket on Monday.

NOTES
This is one of the top teams coming into the tournament. With both their elite first contact to their sheer will to put away the ball, it’s quite difficult to imagine this team not going the distance this weekend. There’s no break in the action when it comes to this team. Not only does 16-1 Adidas have a pair of the top middles in the country, but they have a duo on the left pin that can go toe-to-toe in scoring with ease. It’s a constant battle to catch your breath with how in tandem this team can get.

NOTES
This is team to really keep a close eye on as the season progresses. Triple Crown may even be the breakthrough tournament for them. Equipped with two really strong setters in Keeping and Allie Davison Allie Davison 5'10" | S Bloomfield Hills Marian | 2026 State MI . Both can act as attackers and setters, which gives this team a ton of options. Two recent adjustments, Lesley and Riley Pilat Riley Pilat 5'11" | OH Plymouth Christian | 2026 State MI , to the pins have been huge gains for this group. As the more this team gels, the further they could go.

NOTES
Another impressive 2s team to keep an eye on. This group is made up of a lot of underrated gems that could blossom into something real special in the coming months. Both Sells and Ferrill have been electric for this group. With Sells honing the first contact and Ferrill taking care of the point scoring, the duo are a tandem. Copernhaver is a late addition to this team, originally at L2, that has shown to be a huge game changer with her height and promising physicality.

NOTES
I wouldn’t count this team out. After a slow start at Northern Lights, 15 Mizuno turned on the heat at Central Zone and found themselves amongst the top of the crop. This is a group with a lot of undersized, athletic pieces that can find their way. Both Jones and Williams have been leaders in the scoring and defense. Meanwhile, players like Mirovsky, Lily Tripi Lily Tripi 6'1" | S Utica Eisenhower | 2027 State MI and Elise Biermann Elise Biermann 5'10" | DS/L Eisenhower | 2027 MI have emerged as real potential players in the game. I am excited to see what this group can do at Triple Crown.

NOTES
This is another power pool team. They’ll have their hands full with the likes of A5 and the Texas squads, this group has the ball control and firepower to remain and come out victorious in these match ups. With a setter like Smith, anything is possible with her knack to dish the the ball to the right person at the right time. As for the attackers, this is a loaded bench that gives Smith plenty of options. Really, no choice is a bad one when it comes to these players.
