Capece has thrived while making her full-time transition from outside hitter to libero. She exploded onto the scene during her underclassman years at Omaha Marian, and some of those highlights came along the net at the left pin. However, Capece suited up for Premier Nebraska 16 Gold this spring and locked down the contrasting jersey with tremendous results. Her stellar passing and relentless floor defense helped 16 Gold secure an Open bid, and the grind hasn’t stopped there. Omaha Marian has ascended the Class A ladder with Capece handling first contacts around the dial.

Expect Capece to add to her ever-diversifying scouting report. The Omaha Marian junior is building off an outstanding club campaign as Premier Nebraska 16 Gold’s libero. She commanded the team’s serve-receive pattern and helped lift the team to an Open bid through the Show Me Qualifier. However, we might see an entirely different side of Capece when she suits up for this weekend’s invite. This all-around gem is also an effective outside hitter who was second on the Crusader roster in kills per set last year. We’ll see a little of everything from Capece this season.

Capece’s development has been a can’t-miss storyline among Nebraska’s top 2027s. Last fall was a display of her six-rotation dominance as a starting outside hitter with Omaha Marian. This versatile star shifted to Premier Nebraska 16 Gold’s lineup and proved herself against the nation’s most physical hitters. The libero role has allowed Capece to flourish–even if she’ll rotate back into the front row this fall.

We’ve documented Capece’s rise to prominence in the Premier Nebraska 16 Gold backcourt. This Omaha Marian standout took Kansas City by storm and anchored 16 Gold’s path to a 16 Open bid at the Show Me Qualifier. Capece’s impact transcends positional designations, as we’ve seen her take over matches as an outside hitter on the prep side. USAV Nationals will be another step on Capece’s steady ascent.

Omaha Marian’s strong 2024 season was anchored by the six-rotation excellence of its outside hitters. Capece was part of that operation and put up 2.4 kills per set in her sophomore season with the Crusaders. Aside from Capece’s terminal ability in the frontcourt, she was also a consistent defender and even better as a primary passer. Marian’s quick, precise offense relied on good first contacts, and this sophomore outside hitter always delivered. Capece is now climbing the ladder with Premier Nebraska and will hone her skills at the Open level.

It’s only fitting that we address another outside hitter from that aforementioned Premier Nebraska 15 Black juggernaut. Capece’s ball control has stood out since we first saw her on the club trail, but she’s now adding a lethal frontcourt presence to the mix. She racked up 2.4 kills per set for Omaha Marian to go along with 3.4 digs per set in the back row. More experience with Premier Nebraska’s top 16s squad could warrant further rises in the rankings.

Capece is a six-rotation standout who fits perfectly into Omaha Marian’s system. We saw this Premier Nebraska outside hitter influence club matches through more than just her termination. Capece anchors the serve-receive pattern and can go pass-to-attack as a frontcourt hitter. She is contributing over two kills per set with the Crusaders and accompanies that with nearly four digs per set along the end line. The Class A scene is a perfect place to sharpen all-around skills, and Capece is embracing that opportunity.

Capece found multiple ways to contribute to Premier Nebraska 15 Black’s outstanding 2024 season. The Omaha Marian prep athlete carried a strong six-rotation presence and was an indispensable part of the passing pattern. Capece could also bring the heat from the front row and was lethal in the crosscourt. This versatile outside hitter was an early entry on our 2027 watch list after she stood out on the Prep Dig Circuit. She has kept rising since that event.
