Street exudes confidence on the court, consistently bringing a calm and collected energy to her team's back row. She always appears unphased by even the toughest of serves and the biggest of attackers, using her super quick reaction time and ability to read the ball well to make some standout plays. On serve receive, Street is disciplined, never failing to create early, solid angles with her platform to steadily get the ball to her setter. She also exhibits exceptional footwork to get under the ball effortlessly and cover her attackers. Street is not just an amazing player on defense and serve receive; she is also skilled at amassing assists when her team's setter takes the first ball. And, from the baseline, Street brings a tough serve that proves hard to receive for opposing teams. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Street has been an integral part of Crescent Valley High School's varsity team for the past two seasons, after transferring from Corvallis High School during her sophomore year. Helping lead her team to two consecutive 5A State titles as one of the team captains, Street has been a dominant factor for the Raiders, effortlessly and effectively commanding the back row for her team. Given Street's consistency on serve receive and defense throughout her high school seasons, she was named to the Mid-Willamette First Team and 5A All State First Team. Street's dependency from the back row was undoubtedly a key factor in Crescent Valley's successes over the past couple years. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Street has remained a constant presence on G3 teams over the past few seasons, finishing her prep career with G3 18-1 as the team's libero and captain. In the Open division, the team has done very well, holding a solid 11-6 record following power league. With the upcoming CEVA regional tournament this weekend, G3 18-1 is the #7 seed out of 32 teams and is determined to finish the season strong. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Outside of volleyball, Street was a 2023 Academic All-American and has impressively maintained a 4.0 GPA. When she's not playing volleyball or studying, Street loves to spend time with family, read, and be outdoors.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Street has committed to Corban University, where she plans to continue playing volleyball and major in Nursing. We can't wait to see Street's volleyball career continue to flourish while she plays for the Corban Warriors! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With these aforementioned skill sets and qualities, Dani Street proudly earns her spot as one of PrepDig's esteemed Golden Athletes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
