Quarterbacks of the Court – PNQ 2025 Top Setters

Smart, poised, and fearless — these setters ran their offenses like seasoned pros and refused to let a ball drop.    Sarah was everywhere. She chased down out-of-system balls, got her middles involved early and often, and played huge at the net with both block and defense. Her hands were clean all weekend — not a double in sight — and she adjusted tempo beautifully based on the game flow. Off the court, she kept her team locked in. A cerebral setter with the grit and leadership coaches dream about. Sarah is the epitome of what a setter looks like when shes confident in herself and knows her teammates. A joy to watch, she runs an offense with clean hands and lots of heart. ~ Samantha Fitzgerald @BenchtBeast     Danica plays with a calm confidence that commands attention. Defensively strong and offensively smart, she knows how to run a game plan and adjust mid-play. Her hitters trust her, and for good reason — she reads blockers like a book and knows where the open court is. A natural floor leader with a next-play mentality and great communication. She reads the court well and gets her hitters open for the kill! ~ Samantha Fitzgerald @BenchtBeast     Consistent, composed, and full of energy — Christie was running the show with poise and passion. Her sets were clean and on time, and she brought a contagious energy that visibly lifted her team. On and off the court, she sets the tone. She may not be the loudest in the gym, but you'll feel her presence every time the ball's in play. Energy-packed and calm under pressure — shes both the yin and the yang on the court. ~ Samantha Fitzgerald @BenchtBeast     Saydie doesn't just run the offense — she owns it. She plays with intention, mixing up her sets and keeping blockers on their toes. And when it comes to defense? She's in the dirt, grinding for every dig. Her confidence in using her entire offense made her team dynamic and dangerous. Big communicator, big competitor, and the type of setter that teammates rally around. Saydie's defense sets her apart. She's a hustler first and a playmaker always. ~ Samantha Fitzgerald @BenchtBeast     Addison easily has one of the strongest work ethics I saw all weekend. She chased down every ball — even the ones most would give up on — and delivered butter sets with pinpoint accuracy. Her hands are clean, her tempo is consistent, and her connection with her hitters is something special. What stood out most? Her court awareness — she always knows what's happening on both sides of the net. A true vocal leader, through every point. Fast, vocal, and full of fight. She's the kind of setter who makes her team believe they can win every rally. ~ Samantha Fitzgerald @BenchtBeast    This group of setters brought vision, fire, and creativity to every play.
