Arianne Paulsen Arianne Paulsen 6'1" | RS/MB Escalon | 2028 CA is the exact kind of athlete that could show up in the Bay some day.

Johanna Lawler Johanna Lawler 6'4" | MB/RS Hilmar | 2029 State CA Named San Francisco Signal Net Boss

Johanna Lawler Johanna Lawler 6'4" | MB/RS Hilmar | 2029 State CA plays the middle with the kind of two-way value professional rosters are built around, blocking with power and still finishing at the net. Her first step is athletic and quick, sealing the net before a hitter can find daylight, and her hands snap fast enough at contact to turn blocks into finished plays. She backs that up with real offensive value, coming down on top of the ball and working both corners instead of settling for one option. It's a rare pairing at her position at this age, a middle who blocks with power and still produces on offense, and she plays it with a visible drive to keep sharpening both sides of her game. Johanna is looking forward to having a professional team to follow locally, curious to see the level of play and the competitive drive a pro roster brings to the gym.

Journey Steel Journey Steel 5'8" | OH/DS/L South San Francisco | 2030 CA hits with a discipline that belies how much power she generates.

That blend, a powerful, controlled attacker who competes without tension, is what separates her in a gym full of hitters chasing the same production with less consistency. Journey is excited about the idea of a hometown professional team, looking forward to seeing how competitive Signal gets on the court against the rest of the league.

Avery Bartelink Avery Bartelink 5'10" | S/RS Escalon | 2029 CA Named San Francisco Signal ICON

Avery Bartelink Avery Bartelink 5'10" | S/RS Escalon | 2029 CA runs an offense the way a program hopes its setter will someday run one at the next level. Her hands are clean, and she keeps her focus on delivering hittable sets to the pin rather than forcing tempo for its own sake. Her court communication stands out, and she pairs it with real offensive range, capable of attacking with a strong arm and placing shots strategically to the back corner when the look presents itself. As a tall setter, her mechanics hold up under pressure, and her court awareness lets her read plays before they fully develop, which makes her difficult for blockers to key on. She leads with her voice as much as her hands, and that polish puts her firmly in Division I conversations. Avery is excited to see what a professional team means for the region, curious about the level of intensity Signal will bring to the Bay Area volleyball scene.
