That distinction extends to 17 Black, a team that looks to Brueggemann for its backcourt leadership. Brueggemann has put up big numbers on the small-town prep scene but can also step up against national competition in the spring. This valuable qualifier experience puts Brueggemann on a higher platform heading into her senior campaign.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["214043"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"[program_tooltip program_id='428728' first='River' last='City Jrs'] continues to build a strong pipeline of Bellevue West athletes. Faiman is an important part of that trend, especially given how well she guided 17 Navy's back row this year. This squad thrives whenever Faiman gets passing opportunities, as she's sure to deliver it right on the setter's head. Faiman's quick reflexes are evident in the way she moves to the ball in the serve receive pattern. 2024 is a big year for this libero, and it's only just beginning.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["189328"],"_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":"Borer remains a transformative addition to the [program_tooltip program_id='428743' first='VCNebraska' last=''] gym. She immediately took control of 17 Elite's libero role and helped the team navigate a tough early schedule. We've documented 17 Elite's close calls throughout the 2024 season, but Borer's defensive excellence brought this group closer to a breakthrough. That big triumph came in Salt Lake City as [program_tooltip program_id='428743' first='VCNebraska' last=''] locked up its Open bid.

Even if a ball seems out of her reach, McMahon is eager to step in and pursue. Keep an eye on McMahon's final prep season with Omaha Skutt Catholic.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["189351"],"_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":"Lund was one of Nebraska's most impactful athletes at the Windy City Qualifieru002du002djust look at Premier 17 Black's final placement.

She had several outstanding showings with Nebraska Juniors 17 Black at the Midwest Power League.

Recent events have proven how well she can anchor the right-back area as a primary DS. We also know that Daly has spent time in Zone 6 and can sub in for any outside hitter in 17 Black's lineup.

This talented libero has been a past standout at Prep Dig Showcase events, and those skills translate well to club competition. Aside from her natural ability to lock down first contacts, Braithwaite is also a strong secondary setter who lays up consistent, accurate sets to her pin hitters. The upcoming fall season should offer more examples of Braithwaite's well-rounded approach to the libero position.","_player_evaluations_9_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":10,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6634529912c01"} /-->
