Team Profile: Infinity 17 Green

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Featuring one of Ohio's top prospects in the 2025 class, this team is ranked third among Ohio Valley Region 17U teams by one source. With a couple of tournament titles and other top finishes so far this season, they will conclude their 2024 club effort next month and the East Coast Championship in Pittsburgh. Here are some of their top athletes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='176099' first='Abbey' last='Emch'] (*pictured)<br>A 1st team all-Ohio selection in 2023, Emch is one of the highest ranked players among all current Ohio prospects. The 6'4 middle is a high flyer with big length and contact point when attacking and blocking. She continues to show more and more her ability to be dominant given her physical tools and improved volleyball mechanics. Emch showed upgrades in her arm strength and speed during the most recent high school season as a middle and at the right pin, which have certainly proven to be key pieces for this team and their success. She is committed to national power Pitt.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='227277' first='Sianna' last='Dykes']<br>Dykes has a big ceiling to her game at 6'2 and with big hops. With good versatility to play in the middle or at the pins, she has been impressive with what she can do as a primary attacker to get up and swing at a big contact point on the left side. As she upgrades her competitive opportunities and experience with this team compared to her high school opportunity, her role in the middle for Howland involved some big-time terminations and a dominant presence as she led her team at 4.3 k/s this past fall with over 330 total kills. She also can be dominant defensively at the net as she provided 3.7 blocks per match.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Regan Price</strong><br>Price is a 5'10 middle committed to the University of Findlay. As this team has big presence in the middle among other prospects, she holds her own well to ensure their balance is in tact through her three rotations in the front row. One of her best attributes offensively is her ability to create good space so she can move the ball around. Her awareness and arm control make her a viable option to terminate when she gets her opportunities in system. The evidence of her impact is seen in her numbers from the high school season as the Lakeview product led her team at 5.0 k/s. The Bulldogs went unbeaten in conference play as Price earned all conference 1st-team honors.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='239198' first='Faith' last='Schneider']<br>The 5'10 Schneider has an aggressive arm at the pins as she can develop good power when on balance and at the peak of her jump. A 2024 prospect, she was the top contributor at Mineral Ridge in 2023 having led their offense at 4.6 k/s. As they were the MVAC Scarlet league champions, she earned 1st-Team all conference honors. She concluded her high school career averaging 15.0 digs per match to showcase her impact as a six-rotation contributor. Schneider will be headed to Edinboro University next fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='227632' first='Rylie' last='Simons']<br>A 2026 prospect, Simons entered the club season with some great momentum and accolades that bring attention to her game. The All-American Conference Player of the Year in 2023 is an impact teammate as a setter and floor leader. With over 800 total assists this past high school season, Simons has done well to involve the range of attackers she has given the differences in their athleticism, skills, and needs. She has good quickness and moves around the floor well to get to the second touch and put up a quality opportunity. Her athleticism allows her to make an impact in the front row as well as at 5'6, she can put up a respectable block and also score herself with good decisions to dump on two.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
