From the first whistle, these pin hitters brought pace, power, and confidence, showcasing advanced shot selection, fearless swings, and the ability to score in and out of system. Their footwork was clean, their arm speed jumped off the court, and their willingness to take high-pressure reps separated them from the field. These athletes didn't just compete—they performed. Earning Top Performing recognition wasn't about one highlight play; it was about consistency, intensity, and the way they elevated the tempo of every match. This group brought the heat, and they made it clear the future of the pin position is in very good hands.    [player_tooltip player_id='748339' first='Dori' last='Granlund'] – Right Side (Lefty) [player_tooltip player_id='748339' first='Dori' last='Granlund'] is the kind of right-side prospect college coaches circle immediately. Her lefty arm creates natural mismatch problems, especially against single blocks, and she scores efficiently with sharp cross-court angles and a heavy ball down the line. She's comfortable taking high-volume swings, stays aggressive out of system, and shows advanced blocking instincts on the pin. What separates her is her leadership presence—she communicates constantly, raises the energy level, and looks like a player teammates naturally follow. She has the physical tools and competitive mindset that translate to the college game. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas     [player_tooltip player_id='644646' first='Julia' last='Fahl'] – Outside Hitter [player_tooltip player_id='644646' first='Julia' last='Fahl'] checks the boxes college coaches value in a six-rotation outside. At the net, she plays with high volleyball IQ—seeing the block early, using hands, and attacking seams instead of forcing low-percentage swings. In the back row, she is aggressive and confident, handling serve receive pressure and extending rallies with controlled digs. Julia competes on every touch and understands how to impact a match beyond just kills. Her ability to score, pass, and defend makes her a reliable pin option at the next level. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas     [player_tooltip player_id='757176' first='Autumn' last='Doberstein'] – Pin Hitter (Left/Right) [player_tooltip player_id='757176' first='Autumn' last='Doberstein']'s versatility is what makes her a coach's dream. She can score from either pin, adjust to different tempos, and stay effective when the offense breaks down. She attacks with balance and control, showing smart shot selection and body awareness in transition. Autumn plays within the system but isn't limited by it—she finds ways to score when options are limited. College coaches should be watching her ability to adapt, compete, and contribute wherever she's needed in a lineup. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas     [player_tooltip player_id='905669' first='Nora' last='Pemberton'] – Outside Hitter [player_tooltip player_id='905669' first='Nora' last='Pemberton'] brings consistency and trustworthiness—two traits college coaches prioritize heavily. She stabilizes serve receive, gives setters clean first contact, and transitions smoothly into attack. Offensively, she scores with intention, using placement and vision to find open court rather than relying solely on power. Nora's competitiveness shows in long rallies, where she stays engaged defensively and makes smart decisions. She's the type of outside who may not be flashy every point, but quietly makes teams better. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas     [player_tooltip player_id='752234' first='Cameron' last='Braun'] – Outside Hitter [player_tooltip player_id='752234' first='Cameron' last='Braun'] didn't just catch attention—she became the player every college coach in the gym was tracking. From match to match, coaches shifted their focus to her pin, and by the end of the day, everyone watching wanted her on their list. Her physicality, arm speed, and ability to score against a well-formed block separated her immediately. She attacked with confidence in system, stayed dangerous out of system, and embraced the responsibility of taking big swings in pressure moments. Cameron also showed defensive commitment and court awareness, proving she's more than just a terminal attacker. She has the tools, competitiveness, and presence that translate directly to the college game—and college coaches clearly saw it. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Thank you to all my readers for making this journey possible.
