Alivia Knutson Alivia Knutson 5'7" | S/RS Ellendale | 2029 State ND comes in at #9, and I really like the size and athleticism she brings to the setter position. Her length gives her an advantage when working with difficult passes, and she does a nice job getting the ball out to her hitters even when the play doesn’t go as planned. What also catches my attention is how composed she stays when she serves and receives breaks. She doesn’t seem to get rattled and continues looking for ways to keep her hitters involved. ~Theresa@prepdigdakotas

Alivia showed strong progress as a setter who understands flow and rhythm. Over the season, she demonstrated improved location and decision-making, particularly when working out of system. She does a good job keeping hitters involved and adjusting based on matchups.

Moving into the upcoming season, Alivia’s growth will come from increasing tempo and assertiveness. As her confidence grows, expect her to take more control of the offense and elevate hitter efficiency. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas
