Nebraska 2027 Setters Run the Show at President’s Day Classic

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're overdue for some setter shoutouts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our breakdown of an eventful President's Day weekend continues. We still have many angles and storylines from Triple Crown NIT and Omaha's ASICS President's Day Classic. Let's take another small step toward the finish line with a standout position group from the Omaha outing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nebraska's Class of 2027 landscape is still evolving, and we still have setters worthy of rankings boosts in this class. Many of those stock risers strengthened their case through big performances at the President's Day Classic.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["521204"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67bcd69f08aab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nebraska Elite 16 Apex has had an impressive two-setter machine since the beginning of last year. Barcel has fit into the team's system perfectly and adds another layer of ball-control prowess to the lineup. She is agile enough to track down passes off the net and deliver hittable out-of-system balls to the outside. 16 Apex leaned on this reliable setting en route to a podium finish in Omaha's 16 Open division. The team will be looking for more at upcoming qualifiers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["521305"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67bcd69f08b27"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We've seen a lot from Guenther in the past several months, and her upward trajectory continued at the President's Day Classic. The [program_tooltip program_id='428728' first='River' last='City Jrs'] 16 Navy standout was a top performer on last year's Prep Dig Circuit, where she connected with any hitter on her side of the net. Those setter-hitter bonds are even stronger with 16 Navy. Guenther guided her squad through a gauntlet of tough matches in the 16 Open division. This group is now battle-tested.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["512869"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67bcd69f08b7d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There's a lot of credit to go around for Club Legacy 16 Alpha's undefeated run to President's Day Classic glory. Moulton was an ever-present part of the operation as a setter-opposite hybrid who played around the dial for 16 Alpha. She set dimes in the back row before quickly transitioning to a hard-hitting attacker in the frontcourt. This tireless effort has precipitated Moulton's recent rise in the 2027 rankings, and she keeps getting even better on big stages.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["556154"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67bcd69f08bce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Let's bring in another piece of the setter puzzle for 16 Alpha. Wyzenski offers the same dual-position potential as Moulton, so the "true 6-2" is an option for this successful squad. This Millard South prep athlete exhibited tremendous hustle in Omaha and was determined to keep her hitters in a rhythm no matter the circumstances. Club Legacy fed off this leadership and rolled to the 16 Club title.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["521269"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67bcd69f08c1e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[program_tooltip program_id='428717' first='Nebraska' last='ONE'] gets on the board with one of 16 Lime's most prevalent leaders. Dominy has been a standout on the small-town prep stage with Seward High School, and her outstanding performances have kept building on the club side. She pushes the ball from pin to pin to keep opposing blockers off balance, leading to countless opportunities for her attackers. 16 Lime's 5-2 showing in Omaha is a sign of more future gains.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["510078"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67bcd69f08c6c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Keller's influence in the Nebraska Elite gym was first apparent when she entered the 15s qualifier fray last year. That high-level experience has yielded further gains, and the President's Day Classic was a new peak. Nebraska Elite 16 Surge wielded a lethal 6-2 system to the 16 Club podium. Keller made an immediate impact whenever she entered the match and worked through some tense moments in bracket play. Look out for Nebraska Elite's deep field of 16s teams on the national stage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["521180"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67bcd69f08cbc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Schnabel is the kind of setter who brings game-changing grit off the bench. Her leadership role with Premier Nebraska 16 Red goes far beyond her ability to distribute and put her attackers in good spots. Schnabel is also an active communicator and a steady defender in the right-back area. These all-around contributions led to a stout 5-2 effort in the 16 Club division--the perfect precursor to the mid-season grind.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Anna Vodicka","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"32561","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Nebraska Juniors","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67bcd69f08d7b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nebraska Juniors 16 Red recently earned a shoutout for its run through the 16 Select division, and Vodicka had a steady hand in the effort. She was an exemplary setter out of the back row who could spread the ball to each of her three attacking weapons. Vodicka also contributed to 16 Red's stingy floor defenses, helping keep her team in long rallies throughout the tournament. Omaha was a big stepping stone for Vodicka and her emerging squad.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
