Check out where your favorite NCAA Volleyball teams are playing this fall!</a></em></strong></p>   <p><strong><em>--</em></strong></p>   <p>Sunshine Classic officially kicked off the qualifier season! And there was simply no better way to kick it off than this!</p>   <p>The 17 Open Division brought in some of the heaviest weights the country had to offer. Some of the best performers from the recent Triple Crown were all on tap. </p>   <p>Championship Sunday saw the clash of the titans with TAV and Winter Park clashing yet again. The two squared off in the semifinals of the Triple Crown NIT and they did so again at the Sunshine Classic. Where TAV took the game and eventually the championship in Kansas City, results were flipped in Winter Park's home court. Austin Performance came in and seemingly shocked the world with their epic run to the championship while Legacy proved yet again, they are top dogs in the field.</p>   <p>The talent pool was deep and the road to the 'ship was epic. Here is your 2026 Sunshine Classic Dream Team from 17 Open.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Isabel Incinelli - Winter Park</h2>   <p>If Texas A&M is looking to win anymore championships, it is a good thing they are getting a player like this one. All Isabel Incinelli does is win. She's one of the best to step onto the court. Her vision for the opponent is second to none. This allows her to score, seemingly, at will. Incinelli can crank the ball or catch you off guard for the cheeky shots on a dime. Her timeliness and effectiveness was the driving force to WPVC's dominant run.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Jordyn Lehman - Winter Park</h2>   <p>This team is chock full of elite level hitters, but we don't give enough love to this dandy holding it down in left back. Jordyn lehman may be an underrated gem in this class. As the libero on one of the best teams in the country, its easy to go unnoticed, but her defense and reception will not here. Lehman acts as the glue that allows this team to thrive as far as they do. She's a lengthier libero and this allows her to cover a lot of ground with little work.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ellie Enger - Winter Park</h2>   <p>I cannot tell which part of this player's game I love most. Do I love the setter Ellie Enger more? Or do I love Ellie Enger, the hitter, more? Regardless, I'll take both of them because they're both that good! Enger is building up herself to be easily one of the best players of her division, despite being a year younger than her peers. All of which is what makes her so much fun to watch.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Camille Presley - Austin Performance</h2>   <p>This weekend was the first that I got to really watch this latest Texas commit. Needless to say, I am a fan! Camille Presley has all of the makings to be the next big middle blocker of Texas aka MBU! She showed it all off in Orlando. Presley's block in impenetrable and her transition offense is eye popping! With her in the middle, Austin Performance's game goes wide open. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gentry Barker - Austin Performance</h2>   <p>Gentry Barker is a new add to this roster this season and she's wasting no time making an immediate impact. The undersized outside hitter can hit some gnarly angles and she was cooking them all up all weekend long. She has a great pop off the ground and she sees the block incredibly well. Whether she is at the net or storming out of the back row, Barker's presence brings AP to the forefront of the national conversation.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Marlie Smith - Legacy</h2>   <p>I have been watching this girl ball out since her 13s year, and yet, I find myself picking up my jaw off the ground again and again. There is nothing new to say about Smith, she runs one of the best offenses in the nation. She's timely, she's precise and she's fast! The thing of her game that has really taken huge strides is her swagger. Smith knows she is that player and is pushing the edge of the envelope in terms of what she can do with her offense and her style. She makes the game so much fun.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Brynn Stephens - TAV</h2>   <p>This outside may be the most well rounded player in the country currently. From the serve and pass to her attacking range, Brynn Stephens has the ability to do so much for TAV and yet, not skip a beat in any facet of the game. This is her second tournament in a row, where from start to finish, Stephens led the charge. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nyla Livings - TAV</h2>   <p>Nyla Livings continues to prove why she is one of the top middle blockers in the country. Her net prowess is simply one that you cannot mess with. She's an intense blocker with the ability to read the game so well, she's suffocating above the plane. As an attacker, she can run so many different routes and score at such a high level, its an incredible feat to keep up with.</p>   <p>--</p>   <p><strong><em><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@lshotvb/video/7608664736950963487?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7597496589356025374">Check out the latest video from </a><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@lshotvb/video/7612871256060251422?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7597496589356025374"><mark class="has-inline-color has-primary-color">Sunshine Classic</mark></a><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@lshotvb/video/7608664736950963487?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7597496589356025374"> on Line Shot!!</a></em></strong></p>   <p></p>
