Mckinley Beaton – Setter (Ranked #7, North Dakota 2027 | Uncommitted)

Mckinley Beaton thrives on creativity. She not only runs the offense with good touch and rhythm but also forces defenses to stay honest with her own scoring ability. Beaton has a knack for choosing the perfect time to attack on second contact, whether it’s tipping into open space or swinging with power at the net. That offensive threat makes her a dual weapon—a setter who is as dangerous as the hitters she sets.
