Here are five middles with firepower to watch at nationals.
Maddy McGath Maddy McGath MB Brookfield East | 2023 State WI – Sting 17 Gold – Committed to West Virginia University
Maddy is an incredibly athletic player. She puts massive amounts of power on the ball and is just as good in front of the setter as she is behind. She is lethal across the net and runs very fast-tempo plays.
Anna Bjork Anna Bjork 6'3" | MB Oconomowoc | 2024 State #54 Nation WI – Sting 16 Gold
Anna is one of the top athletes in her class and is nationally ranked as a middle. She has trained with the National Team Development Program and was a key player in Oconomowoc’s State Championship run last fall. Now she is a leader and go-to hitter on this open-qualified Sting team.
Myla Glaser Myla Glaser 5'11" | MB Kettle Moraine | 2023 State WI – Sting 17 Black
Don’t get in the way of one of Myla’s hits. When she has the perfect set, she could put a dent in the floor with the ball. She has a powerful arm and crazy fast arm swing. She also has a great block and presses at the net super well.
Olivia Lasee Olivia Lasee 6'3" | MB Appleton North | 2023 State WI – FC Elite 17 Navy
Olivia has huge power at the net. She runs seamlessly across the net and is always engaged on the court and ready to earn her team points. She puts up a nearly impenetrable block and has a great vertical and high arm swing. She will be a key athlete in Indianapolis.
Karli Molnau Karli Molnau 5'11" | MB Lake Country Lutheran | 2025 State WI – Sting 15 Gold
Karli has an incredible amount of potential and already has a ton of power. She is very athletic and has a high volleyball IQ and great court awareness. Not only can she pound the ball, but she can also place it anywhere on the court.
