And she will be fun to watch at Rutgers who has absolutely battled in the Big 10 this season. They took Michigan and Iowa to 5, and I cannot wait to see Brooke's finesse and high volleyball IQ on the Big 10 stage in a few years. She executes well under pressure, an absolute must in one of the toughest conferences in the country. </p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Anabelle is a Top 10 commit in this class, and she is headed to The University of South Alabama, one of the top teams in the Sun Belt conference. Anabelle is a dynamic setter with a keen eye for opposing blockers. She never misses a beat on the court and is hard to read. </p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Addie is an absolute star of a setter. She has clean form, is a great leader on the court, and is a consistent force. She can also be an offensive weapon. Addie will be a great fit at Wichita, a competitive program that is always up for a challenge, already having played four ranked opponents this season and winning three 5-set thrillers. </p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Lizzy is the type of player who will do anything to be on the court, and she will do her job incredibly well. She has stepped into a huge role for Oconomowoc this year and is a setter with clean form and good court vision. She is also an athlete who is always improving and adapting her game. West Florida is a great DII program that is currently undefeated in their conference and 13-5 on the season overall. </p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Lillian is a disciplined setter who was key for Burlington last year in their state tournament appearance. She has great form, is a solid defender, and runs the offense efficiently. Lillian will join fellow Wisconsinite Alexandra Prange at Army - a prestigious program and university to play for and attend. </p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stock Risers</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Alayna has been an athlete on the rise in this class. The speed of her play has improved dramatically in the past few years, as has her decision-making. She is a player who has been at the helm of this talented Luxemburg Casco team since her freshman year and has over 2,500 career assists. It is amazing to think she still has another year running this offense. </p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Kaitlyn has stepped into a huge role for the Dashers this season, and she hasn't looked back. She is a first-year varsity athlete for DSHA and has played nearly every set. She is averaging 4.5 assists per set, has 361 so far on the season, and is contributing on defense and from the service line as well. </p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Lydia never fails to impress me. She is an athlete who is not afraid of hard work and is someone who will be a positive and motivating force on the court on every single point. She has really developed into a high-level leader and someone who runs her offense efficiently. Her form is solid, and she never seems to lack a willingness to hustle. </p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Players to Watch</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">MaKaelyn is a player who has gotten numerous mentions on our site in the past year. She is an impact player, whether she is on the court with her club team, battling with her high school, or competing at a showcase. She can set and swing and finds ways to make plays work. </p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Ava is an athlete who consistently performs at a high level. She gets her feet to the ball and can push her sets pin to pin from nearly anywhere. She is an absolute playmaker on the court, and she is highly competitive in her mindset. </p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Ellen is a new addition to the ranking in this update. She is an impressive setter and right side for Catholic Memorial. When she is on the pin, she is high-flying. Ellen is a lefty who knows how to execute in whatever role she is in. She is a fun athlete to watch and currently leads her team in assists. </p>
