Committed to Illinois-Chicago, Goetz saw 68% of her teams offensive opportunities, terminating at an impressive .236 efficiency given that volume of work. Fast approaching 750 career kills, Goetz also added seven digs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["802566"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":231293,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a932c3a7efaa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mount Notre Dame earned their first victory of the season when they defeated nearby Sycamore by a 3-0 sweep result.

Her first significant offensive opportunities of the season saw her contribute 17 kills for Van Wert as the Cougars earned their first victory of the season with a 3-2 result over Elida. Her length is a big asset at the net as her effort between the pins on both sides of the ball was indicative of what her potential is for her career ahead. Along with her big offense, Coleman also contributed 12 digs and four blocks on the defensive side.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1023883"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a932c3a7f071"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Beyer was one kill shy of her career high as the Titans earned a solid 3-1 victory over Midview. With 15 kills, Beyer has earned double digit kills in all three of their matches as they improved to 2-1 on the season. At 5'6, she has good athleticism that that translates well to her action on both sides of the ball. She approaches well to get her feet to the ball and maximize her lift to contact while she can also contribute with good range of defense in the back row. Beyer is averaging 10.2 d/m so far this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":1023881,"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":231293,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a932c3a7f0de"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The senior setter provided a big effort as the Wolves came up just short in their 3-2 battle with Oak Hills. Entering her final season following delivering a career best 506 assists in 2025, Thelen was impressive on both sides of the ball. With a season high 42 assists, she earned a double-double stat line that also include 17 digs. Mercy McAuley is currently 0-2 to start the season and next take on Purcell Marian.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
