Eden proved to be a key piece of Northland Pines’ success this past season. She was truly the glue of the team’s defense, consistently keeping plays alive and providing stability in the back row. Her 536 digs and 6.3 digs per set are a testament to both her defensive instincts and relentless effort on the court. With nearly every ball finding its way to her side of the court, Eden continued to rise to the challenge and establish herself as one of the top defensive players in her class. She will be a player to watch at the Prep Dig Sizzle.

Smith’s game is built on technical precision. She showcased an accurate platform and excellent angles, ensuring that Flight stayed in system even when facing aggressive attackers.

Eden was at the libero position for Northland Pines and did a really great job. What impressed me the most was how much space she covered on serve receive, freeing up her hitters to transition sooner. She was always ready for anything that came over the net, from hard-driven balls to sneaky tips. Eden looked right at home defending the back court at the varsity pace for her team at the Sizzle.
