<p>Earning the National bid by winning the regional championship always seems to be the most nerve-wracking. You know the players you're going against, sometimes PERSONALLY. It just means a little more. Here is the squad that earned their way to GJNCs doing just that.</p>

<p>Although listed as the 2s team in the 15s division, I can safely say that this team has the size to compete with some of the 1s that they'll see in July. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='435664' first='Cicily' last='Borders'] ('27, 5-4 DS/L, Roncalli)</strong> comes from "Defensive Specialist High School", and she plays like she's been playing since she was in diapers. Smooth and confident, Cicily is a magnet for the ball. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='443861' first='Calista' last='Pence'] ('27, 5-8 S, Avon)</strong> really showed out at the PrepDig Gauntlet in Milwaukee a couple of weeks ago. She's smart with her set selection, smooth in her footwork, and is a leader by example for this squad. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='443851' first='Ali' last='Nobbe'] ('27, 6-2 OH, Oldenburg Academy)</strong> has improved a ton in a short amount of time. Now a six-rotation outside, her length and jumping ability are seamless with her volleyball acuity when playing this tough game of ours. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='546229' first='Kaelyn' last='Groce'] ('27, 6-1 MB/RS, Center Grove)</strong> is a hybrid "big", as she could easily step in as the M2 or the right side on this roster. Her size helps, as she becomes a problem for opposing hitters at the net. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='435860' first='Evyn' last='Taylor'] ('27, 5-10 Pin, Brebeuf)</strong> showed her aggression at last year's Freshman Showcase, and continues to do so from both pins on this team. Her heavy arm swing, coupled with her shot selection, make her an indispensable part of the attacking corps.</p>
