Abigail Hellen is a newer name on the Colorado volleyball scene, but she is already giving us plenty to talk about. The 2028 outside hitter has been a standout, and her approach is a big reason why. Hellen moves quickly into her attack and gets off the floor with impressive speed. That quick approach helps her find contact above the block and create scoring opportunities. However, she is not simply swinging hard every time. Instead, Hellen shows plenty of creativity with her shot selection. She can work the line, find deep corners, or change things up at the last second. That ability to disguise her intentions keeps defenders guessing. With her athleticism and attacking instincts continuing to develop, Hellen is certainly a name to know and a player trending up this month!
