Top Weekend Performers!

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Many of the best teams and players around the state were in action during the first weekend of February. We take a closer look at some of the results and the top teams and performers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Northwest Power League- RVC 18 Kari</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Renovators stepped into week two of the NWPL in Auburn and finished with a 6-0 record over the two days of competition. A fast-tempo offense kept defenders on their heels and RVC only dropped one set total, 23-25 to WVBA 18 Adidas. The team turned around and finished that match off with a 15-6 third-set margin, ending a terrific weekend in style. It was a big team effort, with the squad having to move players around as they dealt with depth issues- excellent passing from libero [player_tooltip player_id='266199' first='Madison' last='Joswick'] and a host of others allowed setter Kylie Munday to find her quick athletic attackers before blockers were set up. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>NPJ Seattle 17 National</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>NPJ was another team that posted a 6-0 record, and they will be challenging the upper flights in the next round of the NWPL. [player_tooltip player_id='268468' first='Holley' last='McFadden'] has been tough to stop in the middle offensively and defensively, and [player_tooltip player_id='253253' first='Alani' last='Taliloa'] brings reliable heat from the outside. NPJ played in control and with a purpose, the team was well prepared after a high-level weekend of play at the MLK Houston event in mid-January. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["235139"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Ferrin is a 2024 OH out of University High School in the Spokane, Valley, committed to Salt Lake CC.

Space Needle dug it out in three- 16-14 after SIVBC won the 2nd set 27-25. [player_tooltip player_id='335612' first='Lauryn' last='Coleman'] was explosive for SIVBC out of the middle, but SNVF had power available as well with pins [player_tooltip player_id='250046' first='Madyn' last='Cervellera'] and [player_tooltip player_id='251548' first='Violet' last='Burchak'].

The big win was delivered by the Shockwave 16s, who took down a solid Shockwave 18s in the final match for first place in the tournament. The 16's group played outstanding defense, hustling to keep balls off the floor and extend rally after rally. Callie Schoenberg provided plenty of offense from the outside and [player_tooltip player_id='290228' first='Aliyah' last='Malone'] was terminal from the middle when the team was in system. The defense truly carried the day, [player_tooltip player_id='499409' first='Avery' last='Beck'] handled the libero spot, but her partner in the back row [player_tooltip player_id='389992' first='Jocelyn' last='Gaca'] was just as impressive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["389992"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Gaca is a 2026 prospect who did solid work for Hanford this high school season, and was all hustle and energy for Shockwave at the Meltdown.

Dreves started off set two with a monster stuff block, making sure OJVA stayed focused after a convincing win in set one. The two setters for OJVA, Mairs and Elisabeth Levick, both have the strength and hands to find Dreves from anywhere on the court, giving OJVA solid out of system options in almost any situation.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65c45b639d6ca"} /-->
