Dykstra showed at the Prep Dig Sizzle that she is a promising defensive player in both left back and middle back. She was quick to get behind the ball and make a solid first contact for her setter. Abby shows a great level of confidence and stability, especially in high-pressure situations. The way Dykstra works with Ramstack in the back row makes them indispensable to the Bettendorf defense.

I’ve watched Dysktra in action during the last few club campaigns and with Bettendorf this past prep season. She’s stood out for her versatility, filling in wherever her team needs her. That was the case again at the 2026 Nike President’s Day Classic in St. Louis. Dykstra was hitting at the opposite pin for a Select 17 Mizuno squad that finished fifth out of 32 teams in the open division. It highlighted her athleticism that plays at other positions. That allowed her to help the Bulldogs in the back row this past fall, leading to 78 digs in 54 sets. Dysktra added 20 kills and 7.0 blocks.
