Speaking of nice kids that transform once the match starts, Caroline is the offensive leader for blue-blood Cathedral, and has been for the last few years for the Fighting Irish. One of the more smooth players in this class, Caroline’s ability to make the game look easy in such a lithe frame is fun to watch, and her energy looks endless. Her volleyball IQ has been off the charts for some time, and she’s used that high-end knowledge to score well past 1000 points in her high school career.

Although she looks lithe and little, Caroline’s big play and big match readiness is consistently on display in both high school and club volleyball. She’s got a well-rounded game that can be used in a variety of ways; serve receive, floor defense, attack and smart play are just a couple of traits that Miss Hanchar regularly shows night-in and night-out.

Lithe, springy and active, Caroline is one of a group of Fighting Irish that can contribute offensively. What set her apart from the others, however, is her efficiency, availability to hit all angles and her floor defense and serve receive combination. You watch her warm up, and she’s very matter-of-fact in her play. Once the first whistle blows, it’s all business, and Cathedral would not be 13-6 and near the top of 3A in the state without her.

One of the lead attackers returning to Cathedral this fall, Caroline is an uncommitted stud of an outside that plays much stronger and bigger than her frame might otherwise admit. Able play all parts of her game at an above-average level, Miss Hanchar has the ability to be the glue to any volleyball program needing a primary-passing outside.

She may look sweet in her profile pic, but Miss Hanchar is a beast once the first whistle is blown. Explosive, springy and always active in all parts of the game, Caroline’s ability to score points on the attack, prevent opponent’s points with her defense and solid serve receive make her a nice, all-around option on the outside in the class of ‘27. Coach Travis Fuller has this squad playing in an ultra-fast offense, and Caroline has fit in quite nicely with the tempo.

Springy, quick and smart, Caroline is an active, six-rotation outside that is next-level ready. She’s been starring on Cathedral for a couple of seasons now, and has all the tools to be a serviceable, primary-passing outside. Although she looks narrow, the strength in her swinging shoulder is heavy, her block is consistent, and her lithe build is much stronger than she looks. Her stamina and conditioning are top notch as well—-she can shoulder the load of being a primary attacker at an open level, and makes it seem effortless.

A springy and athletically active outside, Caroline is a primary passer that plays much bigger and stronger than her lithe 5’10” frame might tell the untrained eye. Already accustomed to being the primary attacker at both her high-end high school and top notch club programs, Miss Hanchar is a terminal player in all aspects of this game, and can carry a team offensively and defensively when allowed to do so.

Although more lithe than your average Division I outside, Caroline is a terminal hitter from the left and can be the six-rotation stud a team is looking for. With multiple years under her belt for blue-blood volleyball program Cathedral, Caroline makes gravity look irrelevant from time to time, and whips her attacking arm through the hitting zone with ease. I like her all-around game; she’s got all the skills to do everything a next-level outside can do, and will continue to perfect her craft and her volleyball IQ this coming club season.

Lithe but explosive, Caroline is the lead outside hitter for 3A top-ranked Cathedral this fall. Her whip of an arm accompanies her quick-footed transition, making her one of the toughest to defend against when in-system. She isn’t a flash in the pan by any means; Miss Hanchar has been this way for years, and is just now getting the attention she has earned. Whomever earns her commitment will have a high motor outside that can score from anywhere.

Similar to Jenna above, Caroline is even MORE explosive on the left pin. Already familiar with a fast offense, Caroline’s ability to transition quickly and load up on her explosive jump is the work she brings to reward her team with a terminal kill. Part of the blue-blood Cathedral volleyball program, she’s one of the x-factors in the Irish being as successful as they are—-and will need every bit of her talent to get past 3A defending champ Roncalli.
