2026 Legacy Club Profile: 15-1 ADIDAS

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Coming off an AAU National Championship in the 14 Open last year, Legacy 15-1 ADIDAS has big expectations in 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This team brings back a stacked roster with a pair of players that are coming off playing for Team USA U17 earlier in the fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Coached by Ricky and Jenniffer Cottrill, this team should be believing it can win any event it competes in this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:table --> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='709559' first='Kaelyn' last='Easton'] - S</td><td>[player_tooltip player_id='885468' first='Saniya' last='Tucker'] - MB</td><td>[player_tooltip player_id='768151' first='Emily' last='Nwabueze'] - MB</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='885464' first='Charlotte' last='Keyes'] - MB</td><td>[player_tooltip player_id='587564' first='Lexi' last='Coleman'] - OH</td><td>[player_tooltip player_id='885455' first='Kate' last='Berghoff'] - OH</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='885461' first='Riley' last='Harrah'] - OH</td><td>[player_tooltip player_id='741882' first='Georgia' last='Addleman'] - RS</td><td>[player_tooltip player_id='757121' first='Stella' last='Smith'] - L/DS</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='788886' first='Bristol' last='Davenport'] - L/DS</td><td></td><td></td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <!-- /wp:table --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Team USA's finest</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Two members of this squad, outside hitter <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='587564' first='Lexi' last='Coleman']</strong> and setter <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='709559' first='Kaelyn' last='Easton']</strong> were part of the Team USA U17 National Team this past fall, winning the NORCECA U17 Continental Championship in Costa Rica. Coleman was named a captain of the team, establishing her as one of the very best in the nation. Easton was a key part of the team and helped lead Mercy to a D1 state championship as a freshman setter. These two are already among the best of the best in the US and bring those skills and talent to this Legacy team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Big Middle Power</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Already with a lights out outside, Legacy also brings in a lot of size and explosiveness in the middle in <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='885468' first='Saniya' last='Tucker']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='768151' first='Emily' last='Nwabueze']</strong>, and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='885464' first='Charlotte' last='Keyes']</strong>. Tucker and Keyers are each 6'2”, providing some great length that Legacy can use for attacks and for blocking. Nwabueze is listed at 5'10” but her ability to play above the net is hard to compete with. She's one of the most explosive players at her position and has tremendous quickness at the net.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Outside Depth</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Along with Coleman, Legacy also has <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='885461' first='Riley' last='Harrah']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='885455' first='Kate' last='Berghoff'] </strong>as outside options, and new addition <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='741882' first='Georgia' last='Addleman']</strong> on the right side. Addleman is coming off a breakout fall with Parma Western and her 6'1” frame and left-handed attack provide Legacy with flexibility in the attack. Harrah and Berghoff are both well-rounded players that can put the ball away at the net, but are also standout defenders that can handle pressure situations.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Defensive Talent</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Speaking of defense, Legacy 15-1 ADIDAS has that as well behind <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='757121' first='Stella' last='Smith']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='788886' first='Bristol' last='Davenport']</strong>. Davenport is another player that has experience as an outside as well, which speaks to her overall skillset and athleticism. Smith brings a ton of leadership and competitiveness to the back row. She's determined to get to every ball and her energy transfers over to her teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Expectations</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Expectations are as high as you can expect right now. Coming off a national championship last year, and the vast majority of this team intact, Legacy believes this team can have a special season. They finished 7-1 in the Nike Classic to open the season, falling by just a couple points in the semifinal. Still, this team definitely will be one to watch in the upcoming Triple Crown.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
