Ava Haack Ava Haack RS Lake of the Woods | 2028 MN gets after it as a blocker. Her movement along the net stood out to me because she works to get all the way over and be part of the block, even when the set isn’t directly in front of her. When Haack gets there, she gets up strong and gives the hitter a lot to work around. She can take away a swing completely, but I also like how many balls she can get a piece of and how often she gives her defense another chance to play. ~Theresa@prepdigdakotas

Haack’s blocking on the right pin was a game-changer. She shut down cross-court swings from opposing outsides by pressing hard with her inside hand and taking away angles. Her lateral quickness allows her to close with the middle, and when isolated one-on-one, she doesn’t back down. She showed a knack for reading hitter approach angles, putting herself in the perfect position to redirect balls back onto the ten-foot line. For a sophomore, her block discipline is elite. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas
