Dani has been an absolute dominant force for Pewaukee for several years. She surpassed 1,000 career kills and got a lot of touches on the ball in defense and offense. Dani had 19 digs and 3 aces in their 5-set thriller against McFarland. Dani is an energizer and motivator on the court and carries a heavy leadership role on the team.

Dani is putting the exclamation point on her high school career this season. She was a leader last season and only continues to do so. Her efficiency this season is incredible – hitting 0.357 from the pin. She knows how to find holes in opposing defenses and is aggressive on every swing. Dani recently helped her team sweep Wisconsin Lutheran, a huge conference rival. She is consistent, powerful, and an energizer on the court.

Dani recently committed to Austin Peay and has enormous potential for success at the college level. She jumped up three spots to 46th in the rankings. Dani has a toolbox of shots and is very athletic. She is willing to take big risks on tough swings and can manufacture points. Dani is also very well-rounded and can play all six rotations. She recently traveled with the Badger Region High Performance team and competed at the USA All-Star Championships.

Danielle is a clutch player – the kind of hitter that you don’t question giving the ball to. She has a heavy arm with good control of her swings, plus a monster top-spin serve. Her versatility keeps her on the court, whether she is playing six-rotation outside or middle blocker. She is a fearless, driven individual with the potential to help any team she is on.

Kopacz is an attacker with a really heavy armswing and a lot of power.  She takes a really aggressive approach and swing who has been developing into a very solid passer and defender as well.  The MVP 17 Blue squad is going to be a dangerous one this coming weekend.

When we move to the left side, Kopacz’s versatility can mix things up a bit. Seeing her set at the Prep Dig Sizzle shows us she is certainly well rounded and willing to do whatever her team needs her to do.  She’s currently ranked #40 in the Wisconsin 2024 Prep Dig rankings in a class with some fierce competition on the pins. If you watch her hit a ball, you will see how she is so dominant at the pins. Kopacz was good a year ago, but her consistency has improved exponentially, making her a real threat.  Her swing is so lethal, the opposing blockers better not be late or the defenders’ lives may be at risk.  Kopacz is a real six-rotation player who has sound ball control in serve-receive and multiple shots to choose from swinging from the left side.   She has mastered the art of powering through the block because her arm may be registered as a cannon.  I’m excited to see how much more she improves after representing the Badger Region in Tulsa as part of the High Performance Youth team.
