<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Iowa City Liberty is earning a reputation as a program willing to take on all challengers. A perusal through the Lighting schedule reveals one of the toughest slates in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Liberty showed potential at August's Prep Dig Sizzle in Coralville. It appeared that last year's grueling schedule for an inexperienced team coming off a state championship would pay dividends this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It has to an extent in 2024, but the real test will arrive in the regionals. If the seeds hold, the Lightning will get another shot at MVC foe Cedar Falls in the final with a state tournament berth on the line. The Tigers won their lone meeting this year, 2-0, at this week's MVC tournament. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are scouting reports and photos of Liberty 2024: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["215429"],"_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-67129d87c0c65"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A lot of complimentary words about Hildebrand have been written on this site, and it's not stopping now. She is simply one of the best all-around performers in Iowa. Hildebrand can do it all on the court. She leads these Lightning in kills (271), is second in assists (269), digs (231) and blocks (39.0). Hildebrand set as a sophomore on the state championship team two years ago, and that's her role on the next level. Her versatility and sky-high volleyball IQ should lead to big things at St. Cloud State. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["316419"],"_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-6712a0dcae7a7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the state's top liberos as a ninth-grader last year, Miller has done nothing but improve her standing this season. Her 502 digs already have her over 1,000 for her young prep career. She's cat-quick with an outstanding feel for the game. Miller reads the play as it's unfolding and puts herself in the proper places to deliver. She's improved her ability to turn fast pace around into precise, usable passes. It's crazy to think, but she has plenty of room to raise her game even more. Miller is super competitive on the court and driven to do whatever's needed to win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["316380"],"_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-6712a0dcae7f4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sometimes overshadowed by her twin sister, smart college scouts will she the value in Hadley's game, too. She's a bulldog competitor like her sister, channeling that emotion into production. Hadley really has improved all aspects of her game during the last year. She's built on the skills that make her a standout at setting up teammates. Miller has become a much more reliable hitter this season, impacting matches in that area. She leads the Lightning with 332 assists, and has added 89 kills and 181 digs. Miller also improved her defense at the net.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["273001"],"_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-6712bde82ddbd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Like the Millers, Wilson has made strides from her freshman to sophomore season. She's improved her swing on the outside but has seen the most improvement with her play in the back row. It keeps Wilson on the court through six rotations, where she contributes all around court. She ranks third on the squad with (99 kills) and digs (215 digs), and her 20.0 blocks are fifth. Wilson's improved all-around game raises her stock and keeps open multiple possibilities on the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["497594"],"_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-6712bde82de0f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another underclassman during last year's rebuild, Maassen has steadily improved during her prep career. She fits well on this year's team with her versatility and ability to attack from the pin. Maassen ranks second among Lightning players in kills with 144, and has added 105 digs and 18.0 blocks. She looks more comfortable playing away from the outside. Maassen brings good energy to the court and keeps her teammates get through rough stretches with it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["493985"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":695591,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6712bde82de4f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Van Heukelom has improved as much as anybody on the Lightning. She's tied for the team lead with 57.0 blocks, and she's chipped in 88 kills and 55 digs. More agility and court comfortability have aided her the most in becoming more consistent. Van Heukelom's continued development is worth keeping an eye on. She's shown she's willing to work on her game, and there's plenty of room before she hits her ceiling.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:gallery {"linkTo":"none"}
