Moser guided [program_tooltip program_id='428743' first='VCNebraska' last=''] 15 Elite to a bid at MEQ and kept the momentum going on the other side of the Show Me State. 15 Elite's up-tempo attack is anchored by Moser's incredible feel for pace and location. She is especially good at pushing the 'go' set to the outside, which has become 15 Elite's favorite play in must-score situations. Look for these skills to translate to another big outing at Nationals.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["458183"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Snider was one of Nebraska's earliest 2024 standouts from this class. She guided Nebraska Elite 15 Revolution's high-powered offense to a 15 Open championship in Minneapolis, and the wins kept rolling in from there. This talented setter gives Nebraska Elite a lot more than just her poise as a setter. Snider will also deliver dimes from behind the service line and can alter a match when she rotates in. The GJNC stage will offer another chance for Snider to showcase her skills against the nation's best.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["458148"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"The Show Me Qualifier updated our scouting report for so many Nebraska Juniors athletes. Wiedel is a name we had circled for 15 Black after she spread the ball around nicely in Kansas City. She was not deterred by the challenging grind of 15 Open competition. Rather, Wiedel made the most of her reps and helped expand 15 Black's overall setter depth.

Kroll was one of the team's reliable weapons who made this triumph possible. The Lincoln North Star prep athlete will readily guide 15 Black in a 5-1 system. This allows Kroll to display her physical presence along the net while also being an attacking threat on the dump. The VCN gym has a handful of future prep stars at this position, and the Show Me Qualifier gave us a great preview.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["521273"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Bowman remains at the center of [program_tooltip program_id='428717' first='Nebraska' last='ONE'] 15 Black's operation.
