Both from the courts and from the future endeavors of these athletes.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're a little over two weeks away from the highly anticipated June 15 date for the 2026 class. Let's take a look at an update on who's committed and where they're off to in the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='156322' first='Madison' last='Peal'] to Hillsdale</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>5'6 L - Grand Rapids Christian/MVA</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Add another one to the list. The big time commits just keep on rolling in for Hillsdale. [player_tooltip player_id='156322' first='Madison' last='Peal'] marks the Charger's second commit from the 2025 Michigan class, and the fifth from the last two classes. Whereas the others have been adding some serious depth in the offensive department, Peal brings the balance with her defensive ways. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Peal will join [player_tooltip player_id='288958' first='Madelyn' last='Krappmann'] in the 2025 class, as well as [player_tooltip player_id='176598' first='Jenna' last='Southland'], [player_tooltip player_id='110296' first='Ellie' last='Fles'] and [player_tooltip player_id='473915' first='Hannah' last='Baker'] from the 2024 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='261206' first='Sarah' last='Bradley'] to Calvin</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>6'1 OH - Everest Christian/Unified</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This one was a long awaited one. After willing her teams' way into two huge wins in the semifinals and finals of the Division 4 state championship, [player_tooltip player_id='261206' first='Sarah' last='Bradley'] had flew her way up the stocks. While Calvin is a perennial power in the Division III space, Bradley is a steal for them. A player like this with her physicality and winning history will boast the Knights well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='288948' first='Lexi' last='Armstrong'] to Grand Valley</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>5'8 S/L - Hudsonville/FaR Out</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Keep 'em coming for the Lakers. After a huge 2023 season, Grand Valley has been pulling in some serious heavy lifting when it comes to the recruiting end of things. Coming off of a big 2024 class, [player_tooltip player_id='288948' first='Lexi' last='Armstrong'] is adding on to that depth to start off the 25 group. Armstrong is going to come in and give the Lakers a ton of options. Whether they'll utilize her for her defensive abilities or to help run the offense, she'll be a huge team player for this team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='156300' first='Sadie' last='Haase'] to Grand Valley</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>6'0 MB - Fruitport/FaR Out</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When it rains, it pours. This isn't too bad of a storm for the Lakers to be in, however. One of the most recent announcements, Grand Valley announced they'll be bringing in [player_tooltip player_id='156300' first='Sadie' last='Haase'] alongside Armstrong in the 2025 class. From a defensive minded player, to an ever-growing powerhouse at the net. Haase adds some serious depth to GVSU's attacking roster.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Both Armstrong and Haase highlight as some of the first commits for the Laker's 2025 group. They'll be joining a huge 2024 class that includes the likes of [player_tooltip player_id='172207' first='Olivia' last='Behen'], [player_tooltip player_id='110328' first='Johanna' last='Tillman'], and [player_tooltip player_id='110278' first='Caroline' last='Baker']. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='500643' first='Mia' last='Cibor'] to North Alabama</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>5'6 S - OLSM/Legacy</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This may very well be the last commitment we see from the 2024 class. [player_tooltip player_id='500643' first='Mia' last='Cibor'], a late bloomer to the game, has made some serious impressions over the course of her senior year and will be heading to North Alabama in the fall. Cibor is another multifaceted player that can run an offense, but also can play incredible defense. She was a huge role player for Legacy's 18-1's team this past club season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
