About Emma
Expert Analysis
Rob Howe | Prep Dig Scout
Vanden Hull was a key reason that Ohana 17 National competed well when I watched it at the Impact Invite earlier this month in Ankeny. Playing in her home town, the Centennial junior set up a third-place finish in the event’s 17/18 Division. She’s a crafty and technically sound performer at her position. Vanden Hull consistently puts the ball in advantageous spots for her attackers, reading the defense well and picking up on the other team’s blocking tendencies. She’s a good athlete with agility that moves well around the court, allowing her to get in the best spot possible to set up the cleanest swing. Those traits also aid her in serve-receive, where she tracks the ball well, and in defending the back row. The lefty can end points on the attack, too, and help out on the block. The state runner-up Jaguars lost two senior setters from the program after the 2025 season, giving Vanden Hull an opening for a bigger role this coming campaign.
