<p>Despite the losses, experience remains a strength with five impactful seniors returning: Mary Reese, [player_tooltip player_id='808122' first='Chloe' last='Blessing'], [player_tooltip player_id='797596' first='Olivia' last='Yancey'], Aubrey Ward, and Abi Grace Hoskins. Blessing will be a player to watch this season. She led the Saints in kills last season with 410, including a standout 58 kill performance throughout the State Tournament.</p>

<p>The junior class adds firepower with outsides [player_tooltip player_id='752239' first='Faith' last='Fulfer'] and [player_tooltip player_id='834914' first='Lily' last='Cox'] expected to step into roles. Meanwhile, the sophomore group is stacked with rising talent: [player_tooltip player_id='750224' first='Caroline' last='Stallbaumer'], one of the top middles in her class, joins Kennedy Brown and Amy Dawson at setter, Rylee Bodenstein in the middle, and Ella George as a defensive specialist.</p>

<p>Shiloh has also listed three freshmen to their 2025 varsity roster: [player_tooltip player_id='763687' first='Bristol' last='Bonanno'] (libero), Micah Unger (setter), and Harper Davie (opposite), a trio that could make an early impact under veteran leadership.</p>

<p>The Saints return a seasoned coaching staff with some new faces led by head coach Nathan Bodenstein, with assistants Jodi Unger, Denise Bonanno, and Hannah Watkins helping guide a balanced mix of returners and newcomers.</p>
