High out of Crystal Lake, Illinois has given her verbal to play at Arkansas-Little Rock.  Her length and athleticism will translate well to the next level.  She has been a leader for Central and has played on the open level courts at Sky High.  Arkansas-Little Rock is a new member of the Ohio Valley Conference where they finished 16-15 during the 2025 season.  She'll look to close out a successful career at Westosha Central this fall where she heads into her season with over 2,000 assists. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

fall that will feature Wisconsin opponents in Green Bay and Milwaukee.  Tenhagen has been a point scoring pin for Burlington High School and MKE Sting 17 Gold.  There is a mature fundamental sense to

of Chicago that has just over a 4% acceptance rate and an average ACT score of 34.  Schwab has been on the MKE Sting 17 Gold team who has been the top team in the Badger Region in the 17s group all season.  Her ability to score at the open level will translate well to UChicago who competes in the UAA, a high academic conference with teams across the country. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--

I even remember thinking she would make a good for NDSU. Fast forward to May and she is heading to Fargo.  NDSU has been able to pull some big talent from Wisconsin that would include Sting alum Alexis Boling.  Peterson will look to have a strong finish for Madtown and Baraboo High School. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Other Commits From The Class of 2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='769244' first='Payton' last='Nelson'] - DS/L - Oak Creek - MKE Sting - Committed to UW-Whitewater</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='434920' first='Sierra' last='Hoeft'] - S - Port Washington - MKE Sting - Committed to New Hampshire</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='501235' first='Stella' last='Mulder'] - OH - Wrightstown - [program_tooltip program_id='428591' first='FC' last='Elite'] - Committed to Northwest Missouri State</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='564289' first='Britta' last='Olson'] - OH - St. Croix Falls - Club Red - Committed to UW-Oshkosh</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='476166' first='Hailey' last='Schneiker'] - S - Brookfield East - MKE Sting - Committed to Incarnate Word</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
