Averi Nielsen Averi Nielsen 5'7" | S Williamsburg Jr/Sr | 2026 State IA is the type of setter every coach wants leading the offense. She runs a clean, fast-paced system with great location and decision-making under pressure. Averi’s court awareness and ability to read opposing blockers allows her to distribute with precision—consistently putting her hitters in scoring positions. Defensively, she’s smart and scrappy, always ready to dig hard-driven balls and extend rallies. Add in a consistent, aggressive serve that racks up aces and keeps opponents out of system, and you have a setter who brings full rotation value. Averi is a floor general with a high volleyball IQ and a competitive edge that shows every time she steps on the court.~@prepdigdakotas
