Finally, we’re revisiting one of the most physical middle blockers in the Banzai VBC gym. MacLeod is a game-changing middle blocker who can hit from anywhere along the net. Banzai VBC 17 Select often allows MacLeod to hit on the pin in first-ball situations, giving their featured attacker as many swings as possible. This strategy yielded an impressive 6-2 mark in Omaha, so 17 Select should be raring for more action this month.

MacLeod has been a transformative athlete in the Banzai VBC gym. Her unmatched physicality and attacking range make her a constant scoring threat from the middle blocker position. Banzai also knows how to extend MacLeod’s first-ball routes to make her a pin hitter if necessary. MacLeod got her chance to shine with Bennington’s 2024 squad and is poised for another big season with 17 Select. The 17 USA division awaits–a big step up for one of Banzai’s best rosters.

Don’t forget about Bennington in the Class B crowd. MacLeod is part of a huge influx of talent that could keep the Badgers in the mix this fall. This physical middle blocker was a gamechanger in the Banzai VBC gym this spring, offering serious in-system firepower. MacLeod is also willing to spend some time on the pin to tally first-ball sideouts. Her progression on the high school stage will be fascinating.

MacLeod continues to elevate her game in the Banzai VBC gym. We’ve seen what she can accomplish in the front row, so her standout performance at the GPR Bid Tournament was no surprise. The Bennington athlete hits with a ton of heat while also having enough range to keep teams guessing. In clutch moments, you could also see MacLeod on the left side. She’ll find a way to deliver.

MacLeod remains a force for Banzai VBC. Her 2023 club season was a head-turner as she took over the front row for her talented squad. MacLeod is the kind of middle blocker who can double as an outside hitter when Banzai needs an instant sideout. Her high contact point is a strong outlet for that role, and we’ll see MacLeod expand her arsenal as the year goes on.

Let’s visit the Banzai gym for one of the club’s most dominant middle blockers. MacLeod showed a knack for shutting down anyone across the net last year, and her offensive contributions were massive, too. Banzai was not afraid to give MacLeod some slower tempos to allow her high contact point to take over. More high-impact matches are on the horizon as MacLeod leads her 16s group.

MacLeod is one of those middle blockers that can contribute to the offense in a seemingly infinite number of ways. Banzai VBC 15 Select will often split her out to the left pin like an outside hitter or let her run a two-footed approach behind the setter like an opposite. It’s easy to forget that she’s a middle by trade, and her blocking prowess anchored the net for 15 Select this season.
