At 6-0, the Zeps have swept four opponents and won two five-set marathons to maintain their clean slate in their early schedule. Featuring a big point scoring arm and some solid support, Shenandoah is well ahead of their 13-10 overall record from 2024. Here are some of their key athletes.   [player_tooltip player_id='807875' first='Brenna' last='Leach'] - 2026 | OH The senior outside hitter has steadily increased her offensive impact for the Zeps over the course of her career, which includes earning a DVI all-Ohio honorable mention selection last season. With a career best 4.3 k/s average in 2024, she is well ahead of that in the early 2025 season at 5.9 k/s. This includes 31 kills in a 3-2 win over River followed by 22 kills in a 3-0 win over Morgan. Another 25 kills in their recent 3-2 win over Marietta indicates her ability to score in high volume as she can terminate both at the net and out of the back row. She supports her offense by adding a career best and team high 18.4 digs per match.   [player_tooltip player_id='817161' first='Molly' last='Van Fleet'] - 2027 | MH The 6'0 junior middle provides the length for this offense, which helps her provide needed support for Leach as the two of them provide the bulk of the offense. Van Fleet had a solid sophomore season with 219 kills on a 2.9 k/s average, which has increased to 3.4 k/s this season. She is earning those points on a 44% kill rate and a career best .306 efficiency as she is aggressive with her opportunities to swing through quick options from her setters. She also leads the Zeps defensively at 2.0 b/m.   [player_tooltip player_id='702585' first='Alyssa' last='Crum'] - 2026 | S/RS Leading the Zeps offense at 6.2 assists per set, the senior Crum has been dishing for this team for a few years as she is just shy of 1,200 career assists. She has good relationships with her top arms and knows how to locate them to be successful. Last season was her career best effort at 8.4 a/s on 677 total assists as this season she is also more offensive to add more depth to their point scoring.   [player_tooltip player_id='803577' first='Shayla' last='Holcomb'] - 2027 | DS/L Holcomb is the team's libero and combines with Leach to provide a lot of defense as she earns 18.2 digs per match at this point of 2025. She plays with good movement and getting herself stopped and in good position to reach. A junior, Holcomb earned 373 total digs in 2024 and is currently on pace to surpass that with a new season average. With 28 digs in their 3-2 win over River, she was solid in their recent match versus Marietta as she collected another 26 digs in that 3-2 victory.   Emma Dailey - 2029 | S/RS Supporting this team in sharing the setting role, Dailey is dishing 3.4 a/s as she has offered up 72 assists so far. Her contributions also include nearly 10 digs per match as the rookie provides some good support as she is athletic and has a good range of tools to be a factor both at the net with her arm and defensively to go along with her opportunities to distribute the ball.
