GJNC Player Spotlight: Nebraska 15s Setters

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Back to the setters.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This position group has been an early focus of our ongoing GJNC coverage. We've already brought 16s and 17s to the spotlight, but we have an entirely new wave to digest from Las Vegas. Nebraska's 15s have made a big impression on the national stage, and setters are right in the middle of that high-profile success.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>So, let's go full circle with Nebraska's standout 15s setters from Wave 2 of USAV Nationals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["458183"],"_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-6693e02c22616"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Snider was a year-round leader for Nebraska Elite 15 Revolution. She was indispensable during the team's NLQ title run and guided 15 Revolution through several tight matches. Snider's positive impact starts as soon as she rotates into the backcourt, as she has a serve that can deliver huge scoring runs. We've also seen Snider get her back-row attackers involved in the offense, giving 15 Revolution another unique wrinkle. Omaha Westside has been piling up setter talent and will bring another one to the fold this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["458165"],"_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-6693e02c2268e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Moser brings all the traits you'd expect from a [program_tooltip program_id='428743' first='VCNebraska' last=''] setter. She has outstanding foot speed, a quick release, and flings the ball around with tremendous pace. 15 Elite built its identity around these skills and battled with some of the nation's best 15 Open competitors. Teams may have brought more physicality than 15 Elite, but Moser's leadership helped [program_tooltip program_id='428743' first='VCNebraska' last=''] bridge that gap. We can't wait to see what Waverly's fall season has in store.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["453482"],"_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-6693e02c226d6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Keep rewriting Sidlo's scouting report. This Lincoln Lutheran standout introduced herself to the Nebraska prep scene as a high-flying middle blocker who helped the Warriors to last fall's state title. Sidlo's freshman campaign could not have prepared us for the setter role she has embraced with [program_tooltip program_id='428743' first='VCNebraska' last=''] 15 Elite. This rare combination of skills makes Sidlo one of Nebraska's most fascinating 2027 prospects, and she kept elevating her stock at GJNC.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["458146"],"_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-6693e02c22717"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">What a late-season charge for [program_tooltip program_id='428743' first='VCNebraska' last=''] 15 Black. The team capitalized on its MEQ triumph by reaching the podium in GJNC's 15 Liberty division. Kroll was undoubtedly an influential figure in this run, and she has adapted to all of 15 Black's starting lineups. The Lincoln North Star athlete can play across the front row and is not afraid to tally some kills on the second contact. Kroll's pin-to-pin distribution kept opposing blockers off balance throughout GJNC, leading to ample split-block opportunities. The Lincoln area is building something special in the Class of 2027.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["458134"],"_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-6693e02c22756"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mauch was new to this year's Premier Nebraska 15 Gold roster, but she didn't take long to form unbreakable connections with her hitters. 15 Gold affirmed its status as a national contender at April's Windy City Qualifier, where Mauch churned out several highlight moments from the setter spot. She's a deceptive distributor who also brings impenetrable Zone 1 defense to her backcourt rotations. We'll see plenty more from Mauch as she takes the reins at Bennington following a successful freshman season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='774904' first='Tess' last='Solomon']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"32561","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Papillion-La Vista South","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Premier Nebraska 15 Black","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6693e02c227ee"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hello, Class of 2028. Solomon has given us an early introduction to what this class is capable of. She played up a year with Premier Nebraska 15 Black and was a clear ringleader throughout the 2024 campaign. 15 Black often used Solomon as a six-rotation setter-opposite, allowing this rising freshman to display every volleyball skill imaginable. The Solomon name carries a lot of weight in the Papio area, and we're already preparing for the next iteration.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='591592' first='Peighton' last='Hinton']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"32561","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"South Central NE 15 Black","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6693e02c2288f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hinton landed on our radar after South Central NE 15 Black's comeback bid at the Great Plains Region Bid Tournament. Her deceptive setting and precise location steadied 15 Black's offense after early adversity. GJNC offered more of the same as Hinton rallied South Central NE to some late victories in the 15 Freedom division. Nebraska's small-town scene keeps growing its big-time impact on the national club stage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["521192"],"_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-6693e02c228f2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stukenholtz can wear a few different hats for Premier Nebraska 15 Red. Her excellent defensive output allows her to slot into any zone along the end line. However, Stukenholtz can also command 15 Red's second contacts and generated productive setter stints at USAV Nationals. The Platteview setter uses her lateral quickness to track down errant passes and give her hitters a chance to succeed. 15 Red's hot start in Vegas will bring several athletes into our first 2027 rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
