Five Crossing Borders to Play for Ohio Clubs

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='579836' first='Charlotte' last='Patton']</strong><br>A 1st team all-Kentucky selection following her 2025 Fall performance for Conner High School, Patton has high level tools as a formidable attacker. What she displayed at the Nike Classic in January is indicative of her value and impact as a primary point scorer TSE's top 16U team, one with elite potential. Through their fast tempo offense, she was often over or around blockers given her ability to get to the ball on balance and swing with power and range. At 6'3, she is very difficult to slow down, and when she finds space in the block, watch out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='456263' first='Rachel' last='Lewandowski']</strong><br>From Beechwood High School, Lewandoski plays for TSE's top 17U team as a primary opposite attacker. At 5'11, she has good physicality with her arm in the air as she approaches big in her footwork to drive off the court. Opening her shoulders well in the air helps her swing with range and good speed as she can find space between net defenders or stay mindful to drive the ball at the edges of the block.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='334217' first='Francesca' last='Hansel']</strong><br>A 5'5 DS/L prospect from Ryle High School, Hansel is a great ball control complement to the corps group handling first-touch responsibilities for TSE 17 Blue. She finds and plays in space well with her eyes and preparation at the point of the opponent's contact. This allows her quick and efficient reaction to the ball as her first step helps develop range as she has good tools to play the ball in all directions from overhead to the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='484442' first='Isabel' last='O'Brien']</strong><br>A recent commit to Bellarmine University, O'Brien competes for TSE 17 Blue. At 5'8, she is an athletic and versatile athlete with her ball control, defense, and ability to jump big and take aggressive swings. She is an impact player as she is relentless in her effort and competitiveness to help her team compete at a high level. She can elevate and terminate through various attack points while also offering stability in with her passing and defense. She was a 2nd team all state selection in Kentucky from Beechwood.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='484447' first='Shylyn' last='Koerber']</strong><br>Koerber is coming off a very productive high school season for Conner High School, bringing her well-rounded tools to [program_tooltip program_id='431827' first='Elevation' last=''] 17 Conner. She balanced Patton's big offense well as the second best arm on the team at 2.6 k/s, for her second consecutive season over 250 total kills. Also contributing a career high 440 total assists, Koerber guided the offense with her athleticism, tempo variation, and crafty play to be aggressive when in the front row.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
