Six Impact 2029s in the Ohio State Semifinals

Schultice is setting a high bar for the remainder of her high school career as she is a top offensive threat for Meadowbrook's effort. With 266 total kills, she provides 3.1 k/s on a .275 efficiency. For a freshman, she has good movement in her transition and approach pattern as a primary outside hitter while finishing her effort with aggressive contact and good control to attack the full scope of the court. Her arm has also produced 68 service aces, which leads the Colts. Meadowbrook is 25-2 and ranked #4 in DIV and will take on top-ranked Archbishop McNicholas (25-2) next.     Kramer is one of four members of this offense that is averaging nearly two kills per set or more. One of the most balanced attacks among the DVI semifinal teams, Kramer could be an x-factor for New Bremen this week. She has played some good ball recently with 24 kills over the Cardinals' recent three-match stretch, including 10 kills in a tight 3-2 win in the regional semifinal round. During that stretch, she swung for a .281 efficiency while averaging 17.7 d/m on the defensive side. These are solid numbers for a freshman outside hitter at this stage of the postseason     One of two freshman arms for St. Henry, Bollenbacher provides 2.2 k/s. At 5'10, she is an athletic and versatile attacker as she gets opportunities in a variety of zones at the net. The quickness she displays in her lift and arm swing in the air can generate good movement and pace upon contact. Over five postseason matches, she has been consistent and a little better than her regular season performance as she has provided 2.5 k/s to help her team arrive at the state semifinal round.     Baumer is the second of two freshman contributors at the net offensively for St. Henry. She provides a key part to their attack from the right pin as the lefty can build good momentum and lift to an aggressive contact when on time in her pattern. With 120 kills on the season, Baumer contributes 1.5 k/s and 1.2 b/m. St. Henry has a good mix of offense and any flow to the right pin could be a good answer to what they'll get from their senior veterans in the middle and on the left side. St. Henry is the #2 ranked team in DVI and will take on Independence.     Schneider's 2.6 k/s have been a nice addition to a team that lost some key pieces after their 2024 DV state title run. Second on the team in total offensive production to this point, she was a key piece in their regional final win with 12 kills. If she can get quality opportunities to swing with space and use her arm control, she could have another effort that will be pivotal for the 17-8 Cougars's outcome as they take on #6 ranked Summit Country Day in the DV semifinals.     The 6'2 middle has seen significant opportunities in 2025 with 69 sets played for #2 ranked DII team. She is averaging 1.4 k/s on nearly 100 total kills while adding 2.5 b/m as one of their top net defenders by average. Her length is a big asset, which will continue to be a key part of her game as he improves her movement offensively for more efficient timing and bigger arm speed. Magnificat has good offense among their core trio and any production from Clayton on that side of the ball will be a big bonus as they will rely on her defense to put good pressure on opposing hitters. The Blue Streaks will next face Avon in the DII semifinals.
