<p>The gritty play of these five 2027 liberos has stood out so far this club season. These sophomore defenders have proved they can handle the heat, get on the floor to frustrate setters trying to dump, and dime passes to get the offense in the flow. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Ackimese was on point at the JVA World Challenge; the WVBA standout kept her feet moving with a split step in serve receive and dropped dimes to her setter. Her teammates show a tremendous amount of trust in her - they know they can count on Acikmese to cover tips, handle balls to the corners, and take free balls, so hitters and setters can concentrate on scoring. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Lorenzen has quick reactions and strong hands. She plays the ball overhand expertly, sending her passes high to give her setter the right trajectory to play the ball. When attackers wind up and send a rocket at her, the Skyview prospect angles her platform and absorbs the heat to keep her digs off the net. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Hickman was all over opposing teams' attackers in tip and off-speed coverage during the ERVA Regionals. She has a terrific feel for reading shots, and her play as a DS and libero gives CPA Benson multiple options for mixing and matching offense for defense. The Ridgeline 2027 prospect keeps her team upbeat and energized with her constant stream of communication!</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The NPJ Seattle 15 prospect has a calm platform that she keeps away from her body, and her play as a DS has helped power NPJ victories this season. Villarin handles the middle back and in serve receive, she recognizes short serves and cuts off the seam when she has a good angle. The Kentlake 2027 prospect keeps the energy high on the court and the bench for her squad- a must for a high-powered back row defender!</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The sophomore from Eastside Catholic has excellent range in the back row, covering the corners and handling a large area in serve receive. Finau works hard to get low and cover her attackers; she consistently saves points for SVA with her calm coverage- she stays ready with a strong base and resets the offense </p>
