Cloud State has been building a solid pipeline to Iowa and to [program_tooltip program_id='431948' first='Iowa' last='Rockets'].  The Huskies have been a rising D2 program where Sergeant Bluff-Luton native Kenzie Foley was named the D2 Player of the Year in 2023.  Another outside on the squad is Iowa City Liberty and Iowa Rocket alum, Shelby Kimm.  Hildebrand will be heading North where she has done a little bit of everything at Iowa City Liberty.  She is a swiss army knife type player where she can swing and set.  She is a lethal attacker where she was a big point scorer for the Bolts last season.  When it comes to the next level, she will be a dynamic setter who is highly efficient with her footwork and hands.  Before she heads to St. Cloud, she will be looking to return to Xtream Arena.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66424e07304ca"}

[player_tooltip player_id='215458' first='Brooke' last='Larsen'] live at the state tournament last fall was something special.  Her performance in a five set thriller when Lewis Central defeated Cedar Rapids Xavier was something special where she willed her team to victory.  Larsen plays club for Premier Nebraska 17 Gold and gave her verbal to play at South Dakota State.  She will bring a competitive grit to the Jackrabbits where she has been a standout in multiple sports at Lewis Central.  The Titans graduated some big pieces from their 2023 state tournament team, but Larsen as well as [player_tooltip player_id='215459' first='Maddie' last='Roenfeld'] will look to lead them back to

court where she ran a 5-1 last fall, leading the Maroons to a state runner-up finish.  On the club courts, she runs the show for Six Pack 17s who had a strong season in the USA Division where they will compete in Vegas at USAV Nationals in July.  South Dakota's current setter is Avery Van Hook out of Marion where she was one of the top setters in the Summit League in 2023.  Rogers will bring the length and physicality to USD where they are consistently in the hunt for a conference championship and NCAA Tournament.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66424e0730580"}

is another setter who has been able to score points along with dishing plenty of assists in her high school and club career.  A setter for Iowa PowerPlex and Des Moines Christian, her big lefty handed swing has been key for Des Moines Christian where they have made it a habit to make it to the state tournament during her career.  In 2023 she had 475 assists and over 300 kills, hitting over .350 which is highly efficient for a pin attacker.  Hardersen will play in the Missouri Valley Conference for Indiana State where she will make two trips back home to Drake and Northern Iowa each season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66424e07305d0"}

Augustana.  Augustana is part of the Northern Sun Conference, one of the top D2 conferences in the country.  Hoegh will look to finish her highs school career back at the state tournament where last season the Comets were in the Class 1A Final Four.  One of the top attackers returning for their team is Clara's younger sister in [player_tooltip player_id='493978' first='Elsie' last='Hoegh'] from
