When I watched McSorley compete in person at last year’s Iowa City High tournament, she stood out with her consistency while working in a 6-2 system. The senior did the same back at this year’s event, this time operating as the lone setter. McSorley flashes a keen feel for playing the position. She makes good decisions on where to go with the set and puts the ball in spots where hitters can tee off. McSorley is a smart volleyball player that learns from opponent tendencies, using that information to her advantage and improve as the match advances. She’s also well-rounded, defending well in the back row and at the net with the skills to end points putting the ball down or dumping it in the donut. The Titans are in good hands with McSorley at the controls in 2026.

McSorley stood out when I scouted Lewis Central at the Iowa City High tournament in early September. Operating in the two-setter system, McSorley shared the team-lead in assists with 124 through 11 matches. She also ranked second on the squad with 63 digs, and her 6.0 blocks were fourth among Titans. McSorley has good height and long arms that help her at the position. She mixes up her offerings and consistently puts the ball where her attackers can make plays. McSorley sees the court well and picks her spots to exploit holes in the defense. She holds up well in serve-receive and in defending in the back row.
