About Laci

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

My gameplay style is versatile, steady, and team-focused. As a 5’8” OH/RS/DS, I bring a high volleyball IQ, consistent serve-receive, smart attacking, and strong communication. I’m reliable in six rotations and compete with resilience, reading the game well and staying composed under pressure.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I have a strong we-first mentality and stay focused, resilient, and balanced. I value mental health, recovery, and composure under pressure. I bring steady leadership, positivity, and consistency to every practice and match.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

'25 IHSA Scholastic Achievement '25 - '23 Northern Lake County Conference (NLCC) All-Academic '24-'25 National Honor Society '24-'25 FBLA '23 AVCA Team Academic Award '23 Teen Miss Lake County of Wauconda '22 President’s Education Award for Outstanding Academic Excellence '22 Teen Miss Wauconda '22-'20 Superior High Honors '22-'21 National Junior Honor Society

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

Community service, volunteering, and leadership roles have helped me develop strong teamwork, communication, and accountability. I lead through work ethic and support my teammates while giving back through advocacy and service.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

Yes. I’ve worked through personal and health challenges that strengthened my resilience and deepened my commitment to mental health advocacy. These experiences taught me perseverance, empathy, and how to show up for others.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a college that challenges me academically and athletically, with a strong team culture where I can grow and contribute. I want a program built on hard work, resilience, and support, with strong science opportunities to prepare me for a Pre-Med path.

Laci makes good contact with the ball when she swings. Because of that it gives her great control over the ball. She’s a smart hitter. Can beat you different ways with her hitting. I looked into more of her highlights as well and you can tell she understands the game of volleyball and how to beat her opponent. Accuracy when hitting is key, and Laci can find her spots.

Laci is a smart and savvy pin hitter who caught my eye numerous times throughout the Expo. She never hit the same shot twice and had great control over the speed of her swings. She could outsmart opposing defenses and find a way to get the ball on the ground in various ways.
