Expert Analysis

Theresa Hickman

Prep Dig Lead Scout

Finley VanLannen competes with range and urgency. VanLannen’s first step is explosive, allowing her to close on short tips and deep corner swings with equal efficiency. She maintains a strong defensive base and keeps her shoulders square through contact, minimizing shanks under pressure.

This weekend at Triple Crown, expect Finley VanLannen to impact long rallies. She thrives in scramble situations, converting off-speed shots and tight angles into playable transition balls. Against elite offenses, her court awareness and pursuit motor will stand out. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas

Finley is another player with a great volleyball IQ. On top of her physical talent, her intangibles are amazing to watch. She is confident and a natural leader on the court. She communicates well and works to improve her team on every play.

Finley was confident and took control of the court. She was a leader for her team and wasn’t afraid to direct traffic and call shots for her hitters. She is a player who has been on our radar, but I haven’t had the opportunity to see her play. I liked how she was a leader in serve receive and fearless on defense.

Van Lannen has been the captain of the backrow for FC Elite 15 Navy who has a bid to the USAV 15 National Division. She is extremely well trained with how she controls her platform and is very consistent in serve receive. Her volleyball IQ is very mature for the 15s level. She comes from a volleyball family where her twin sister Harper Van Lannen is also on the 15 Navy squad, and her older sisters being Emerson Van Lannen Emerson Van Lannen 5'10" | S Appleton North | 2024 State #144 Nation WI (Class of 2024 – committed to Kansas State) and Bella Van Lannen (currently at Northern Colorado). This Van Lannen Quads team will be dangerous someday.

Finley is as scrappy as they come. No ball is ever down when she is in the back row. Finley can run down nearly any ball and gets great touches on defense. She is gritty and proves that defense is a mindset, because no matter how tough the hit is, she will do anything to keep it alive.
