Four Setters to Add To Your Radar Before the Nevada Expo Showcase

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Nevada Expo Showcase will bring together familiar faces and younger setters getting an early look against older competition. I'm looking forward to seeing who finds a rhythm with new hitters and who can keep the offense moving when the pass pulls them off the net.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='893157' first='Clara' last='VanSchaik'] | 2029 | 5'7” | S | Palo Verde</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>VanSchaik set for BBVCL 16 Justin last club season and brings backcourt experience from playing both defensive specialist and libero. She carries a 4.0 GPA and has a jump serve that drops late, making it tough for passers to judge its depth. She shows solid setter footwork getting to the ball, and I'm looking forward to seeing how she uses it to stay balanced and deliver a hittable set when the pass pulls her off the net.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='989028' first='Peyton' last='Schriever'] | 2030 | 5'8” | S | Faith Lutheran</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Schriever earned Prep Dig MVP honors as an eighth grader heading into high school. Now a freshman at Faith Lutheran, she plays with a level of maturity beyond her years. She brings club setting experience with Vegas VolleyStars 14-1 and contributes defensively, digging balls in the backcourt and helping on the block up front. At the Expo, I'm looking forward to seeing how quickly she finds a rhythm with new hitters, especially her middles. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='997457' first='Sophia' last='Kise'] | 2028 | 5'9” | S | Shadow Ridge</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kise brings JV experience from Shadow Ridge and has a background as both a setter and a hitter. She carries a 4.1 GPA, has attended a couple of college volleyball camps recently, and will play club for [program_tooltip program_id='430659' first='Dig' last='This'] 17 National Black this season. At the Expo, I'm looking forward to seeing how her hitting experience carries over to her front-row play, especially when she has the option to attack on second contact or set a teammate.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='920397' first='Monse' last='Ortega'] | 2029 | 5'3” | S | Mater Academy East</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ortega gives the Expo a third setter from Mater Academy East. She's a hustler who's willing to get on the floor to keep a rally alive. I'll be watching how early she gets her feet to the ball and how consistently she can give her pin hitters a hittable set when the first contact takes her out of system. Those are two areas where she can make an impression quickly while working with a new group of attackers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are excited to see both familiarand new faces at this upcoming event.
