She is so composed when she plays, she keeps her teammates calm, and doesn't seem to get rattled.&nbsp; This is one who might be a little under the radar that schools in the Midwest can't miss.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://x.com/PrepDigChris/status/1578766121469063168?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/PrepDigChris/status/1578766121469063168?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='311413' first='Audrey' last='Asleson'] - Benet (Illinois) - Sports Performance</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I was able to see Asleson play for one of the top large school high school programs in Illinois with powerhouse Benet Academy.&nbsp; She is so dynamic and a pure playmaker.&nbsp; Her range where she can get her hands to the ball and put up a hittable ball to her attackers.&nbsp; She can do it all from defending her position extremely well, attacking on the second contact, and blocking.&nbsp; She will be competing with Sports Performance 16 Elite as they look for a 16 Open national championship.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://x.com/PrepDig/status/1665780534046519299?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/PrepDig/status/1665780534046519299?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='178032' first='Billie' last='Reiter'] - Greendale (WI) - MKE Sting</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='178043' first='Madison' last='Marx'] - Franklin (WI) - MKE Sting</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These two have had quite the role this year for MKE Sting 16 Gold where they punched an early ticket to the USAV Open Division at the Mideast Qualifier in March.&nbsp; Reiter has a smooth release and manages their balanced and high powered offense where she also has plenty of physicality at the net, coming up with some big time blocks.&nbsp; Marx has amazing hands, a smooth release, and a solid defender.&nbsp; She moves extremely well on the court and has great footwork to the ball.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
