Sokoloski will play for Marcus in her freshman high school season and was with Texas Advantage in the recently ended club season. The outside hitter was one of the standouts in our Up Next showcase last summer and will be back to show how much progress she’s made in the past 12 months. A long and explosive outside hitter, Sokoloski has some serious scoring power. She gets off the floor very well and is excellent at finding ways around opposing blockers, scoring at a good clip also when set in the middle back position. The pin hitter has a strong all-around game and also makes an impact with her big, well-balanced blocking and with her determination and superior positioning when playing defense.

Reese Sokoloski brings a noticeable spark with her energy and constant involvement in the flow of the match. She moves well laterally and shows strong instincts reading the court, allowing her to stay one step ahead in longer rallies. What stands out is her composure — she doesn’t rush plays and consistently makes controlled decisions that extend momentum. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas

What to Watch at NLQ: Her ability to stay composed in fast-paced rallies and keep momentum on her side of the net.
