Expert Analysis

Austin Kingsley

Prep Dig Lead Scout

Lionberger had been Lincoln Southwest’s offensive spark plug for a while, but she reached new heights in pursuit of the school’s first state title. The senior has a unique skill set that features a mixture of quick kills and two-footed approaches on the right, similar to an opposite. Navy is getting a well-rounded athlete who can play a variety of positions at the next level.

Lionberger is the kind of middle blocker who can energize an entire team. The LPS Invite was surely a testament to that positive influence. This Navy-bound attack is incredibly difficult to defend, as she can run routes across the entire net in any of her frontcourt rotations. Lionberger’s efficiency will be one of many catalysts to Lincoln Southwest’s 2023 success.

Lionberger is a constant showstopper in the Lincoln Southwest frontcourt. She can run a standard quick in front of the setter or play as a part-time opposite whenever necessary. Regardless, Lionberger produced some of the weekend’s most assertive swings and was an emotional spark plug for the Silver Hawks. The runner-up triumph wouldn’t have been possible without her.

It’s been quite a year for VCNebraska 17 Elite, a team that went toe-to-toe with some of the best Open teams in the country. Lionberger, who recently announced her intentions to compete at Navy, has always been a major factor in this group’s success. That will remain the case as Lincoln Southwest enters another season as a Class A frontrunner.

Lionberger has been tearing it up since her freshman year at Lincoln Southwest, and she took yet another step forward last fall. This 2024 middle blocker was particularly effective on the “gap” plays that the Silver Hawks became known for. VCNebraska 17 Elite will likely capitalize on that strength this spring.
