What a great pick up for Louisville.  Elizabeth Bower out of Idaho has been one of the top liberos to know from the Class of 2027.  She has played at a high level her entire career mostly playing on the open level teams for Idaho Crush an age group above.  She has length and athleticism that allows her to cover plenty of ground.  She will head to Louisville who has quite the Class of 2027 coming into town next season.

Elizabeth Bower was named MVP at the Kansas City camp and has the opportunity to earn a ticket to the All-America Game in Orlando.

What an athlete.  Elizabeth Bower is the libero for Idaho Crush 17 Bower who plays with such maturity.  The Louisville commit plays with poise, control, and a quiet intensity that raises up others around her on the court.  She has a quiet platform where she makes the setters getting to the ball relatively easy.  If there is an errant first touch, she brings calm to the chaos on the second touch that allows her attackers to swing away.  Crush came out on the wrong end of a three way tie going 2-1 on Saturday.  They may not have come away with a bid, but they have the pieces in place to have a big 2026 season.

Another high level libero to watch this weekend would be Elizabeth Bower of Idaho Crush 17 Bower.  There have been plenty of Bower’s who have gone though the Idado Crush program and Elzabeth is the next in line.  She gave her verbal commit to play for Louisville this summer.  Aside from her libero ability, her athleticism is top notch.  She could pick any sport or position and find a way to be one of the best. Her energy and intensity will raise the level of play for her squad who always seems to be a day three gold contender.

Bower made her presence known and helped Skyview make the quarterfinals. Bower made amazing digs in the quarterfinal match against Redondo Union, as her court vision was spectacular.
