Haylie is a gamer and someone who is very versatile and can do a lot for her team with her game play. I like the fact she can be a top level player from either pin if needed and can contribute with her game by not only scoring but playing exceptional in defense/serve receive as well. It doesn’t matter if we end up starting her on either pin, she will find a way to contribute and that is what we need on this team.

Haylie is a force on offense and her explosive approach, quick arm, and ability to contact the ball at a high point make her a difficult matchup from either pin. She has a very powerful and fast arm swing that really makes it easy to go through, and over blockers. She also is a good defense as she covers the floor well, competes relentlessly, and transitions quickly from defense to attack which makes her a viable option on this team to be able to do multiple things for us and an easy pick for our team.

Haylie Johnston Haylie Johnston 5'11" | OH/RS ALA-West Foothills | 2028 State AZ has been a key piece of Livewire’s success this season, impacting the match from both pins with her versatility and high volleyball IQ. Whether attacking from the left or the right, she provides a consistent offensive presence and is equally valuable on the defensive side of the ball. She excels in off-blocker defense, reads the game well, and helps extend rallies with her court awareness. On the right side, Haylie does an excellent job of attacking the setter, forcing opponents out of system and creating transition opportunities for her team. Offensively, she runs a fast, efficient tempo and consistently puts pressure on opposing blockers, while defensively she establishes a disciplined block that gives her middle every opportunity to close and seal the net. Her complete game makes her one of the more impactful pin hitters to watch this weekend.
