19 High Flying Pins at MEQs: 15 Open (Pt. 1)

It was the weekend to go bid hunting! Some of the biggest names from across the country were balling out at the Indiana Convention Center in the hopes of snagging a ticket to the 2022 national tournament. These players went all out! The 15 Open was on fire all weekend with relentless attackers and high fliers. Dynasty 15 Black took home the Mid-East Qualifier crown, but they had to go through the gauntlet to get to the championship. These pins were some of the best in Indianapolis and proving to be some of the best in the country. Here's part 1 of the top 19 High Flying Pins at MEQs: 15 Open. [player_tooltip player_id="156292" first="Jessica" last="Costlow"] (2025) | 5'11 OH | Michigan Elite [player_tooltip player_id="156292" first="Jessica" last="Costlow"] came up huge this weekend in many ways for Michigan Elite. Costlow proved herself the steady force that they need on the pins. Her play stands out in many ways due to her ability to run all kinds of routes and her passing seems to be vastly improving. [player_tooltip player_id="156298" first="Chloe" last="Giehtbrock"] (2025) | 6'0 OH | Michigan Elite This rising star can play many different positions, [player_tooltip player_id="156298" first="Chloe" last="Giehtbrock"] can attack at a high level as well as set. This weekend Giehtbrock delivered nicely on the left pin. Her swings were aggressive and efficient. Giehtbrock also showcased an impressive float serve that gave many teams fits. [player_tooltip player_id="156284" first="Gabriella" last="Babinski"] (2025) | 6'1 OPP | Michigan Elite Another player that can be slotted anywhere along the net, I think Michigan Elite and [player_tooltip player_id="156284" first="Gabriella" last="Babinski"] have found something great on the right pin. Babinski looked quite comfortable and was scoring well in this position. She followed up her scoring success with some great passing.

She's a player that takes up a lot of ground and is quick to do so. With great block coverage, she is fast in transition back to the pins and can put the ball away with ease, given her speed and high contact. [player_tooltip player_id="179891" first="Riley" last="Certain"] (2025) | 6'0 OH | Austin Skyline This player was certainly the hot hand all weekend long for Austin Skyline. [player_tooltip player_id="179891" first="Riley" last="Certain"] is a great six rotation player that doesn't only attack at a high level, but her passing is up there as well. Certain can get it down on the left or through the pipe, with a nice high reach on her attack.

Davis is a very crafty attacker. She sees the block well and goes after it fearlessly. If not chipping off the block, she came up big hitting through seams. [player_tooltip player_id="179899" first="Addison" last="Gaido"] (2025) | 6'4 OPP | Austin Skyline A player we highlighted in the previews, [player_tooltip player_id="179899" first="Addison" last="Gaido"] did not disappoint. After a rough day 1, Gaido was able to turn up the heat and more than deliver the rest of the weekend. She's an imposing blocker with a lot of upside on her swings. Her cross court cross-body shots were pretty lethal. Addison Tindall (2025) | 6'1 OH | [program_tooltip program_id='430155' first='Team' last='Pineapple'] One of the taller pins in this age group, Addison Tindall moves very well. She can go over the block and swings hard. Pineapple's go-to arm, it doesn't take long to understand why. Tindall showed a lot of upside to her already booming game. Maya Harris (2025) | 5'10 OH | [program_tooltip program_id='430155' first='Team' last='Pineapple'] Opposite Tindell, Maya Harris completes a 1-2 punch on the pins. A word that can be used to describe Harris is complete and reliable. In the game all six rotations and can attack at a consistent force, Harris is able to do a lot for this team.
