[player_tooltip player_id='818975' first='Siri' last='Bach'] – University of Northwestern–St. Paul   Right Side / Middle Blocker – Ranked No. 2 RS in South Dakota   From day one, [player_tooltip player_id='818975' first='Siri' last='Bach'] has carried the type of presence that changes the feel of a gym. Her ability to dominate both the right pin and the middle made her one of the most versatile front-row players in the class. Siri's blocking instincts have always been ahead of the curve—reading the setter early, sealing with discipline, and taking away clean angles with a strong press. Offensively, her ability to score in transition, hit high hands, and terminate from the right side has made her a matchup nightmare year after year.   But what has truly set Siri apart is her work ethic. She's the athlete who stays late to refine footwork, studies film to understand reads, and brings leadership to every practice.
