A Closer Look at Who’s New to the 2027 Rankings

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I always love seeing the rankings as they evolve. It's always moving, and shifting, while players hit highs and sometimes slower progress. All of it is normal. So let's take a look at some of the new names in the 2027 Rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["455611"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-666146b82166b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cowan has a gritty style of play and she will use any tool at her disposal in order to score. She's quick in transition and super crafty with her attacks. I would take a fair guess that she plays beach doubles. Cowan can take care of a tight ball on the net or make a deep tip down the line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18967432/664bf826f91e4b7c653e7b0d' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-666146b82183d"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["522740"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-666146b82188e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Everett plays up an age group with SMV 16-1s. She is a solid first contact that reads the ball well off the serve and is difficult to take out of system. On defense she anticipates and reads the play well ahead of time. If she doesn't have a step on the ball ahead of time she has really fast reactions and quick footwork.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/20262962/6631b734b57bed4de41a0ee7' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-666146b8218b2"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["455612"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-666146b821957"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I really enjoyed getting to see Garcia at one of our showcases and I wasn't surprised to see her having a good club season. She provides such a solid first contact whether in serve receive or defense. I like how she controls the hard driven ball as well as takes care of the deep corners. Some defenders give up on the ball once it hits the tape but she sticks with it and still holds her platform for the perfect pass.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18239300/664bf825503a0b1bdc5d9a4d' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-666146b821979"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">More New Names to the Rankings</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='492589' first='Aliza' last='Carvell'] - Middle Blocker - Northern Lights</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='461571' first='Kendall' last='Dahlen'] - Libero - Northern Lights</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='396879' first='Payten' last='Diekmann'] - Setter - Northern Lights</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='455600' first='Kaydence' last='Fjerstad'] - Middle Blocker</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='509917' first='Sailor' last='Friedly'] - Outside Hitter - MN Select</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='509918' first='Sydney' last='Friedly'] - Setter - MN Select</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='396880' first='Taylor' last='Hagedorn'] - Middle Blocker - Northern Lights</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='455613' first='Savannah' last='Hamilton'] - Setter - Northern Lights</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='447961' first='Kenna' last='Hennessey'] - Libero - MN Select</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='455614' first='Alaina' last='Johnston'] - Outside Hitter - Northern Lights</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='463093' first='Audrey' last='Kallberg'] - Middle Blocker - [program_tooltip program_id='449749' first='Northern' last='Revival']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='509855' first='Sydney' last='Kracht'] - Right Side Hitter - [program_tooltip program_id='429186' first='Kandi' last='Elite']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='447296' first='Edith' last='Larson'] - Setter- Northern Lights</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='491894' first='Ali' last='Leonard'] - Libero - Northern Lights</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='492596' first='Ava' last='Maslowski'] - Outside Hitter - MN North</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='452490' first='Meghan' last='McCarthy'] - Setter - MN Select</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='447965' first='Reagan' last='Mittelstadt'] - Libero - SMV</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='455601' first='Maddie' last='Molacek'] - Right Side Hitter</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='500762' first='Jaclynn' last='Nelson'] - Middle Blocker - [program_tooltip program_id='429186' first='Kandi' last='Elite']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='492595' first='Ashley' last='Panichi'] - Outside Hitter - [program_tooltip program_id='449749' first='Northern' last='Revival']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='493713' first='Navea' last='Pennock'] - Setter - Northern Lights</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
