Kaylee was a fantastic teammate and team player on the court at the Freshman Showcase. She had great hands as a setter, good touch setting dimes to her team! She was hustling, a gamer on the court. She defended well at her position on defense and played with a joy that encouraged others as well. She was confident and you could see and hear her praise for teammates, whether it was a great play or a mistake by a player. She received the Avoli Committed Athlete Award at the event!

Not only was Opperman named a Top Performer, she was also our Avoli winner. What made her stand out from the rest was her contagious smile, positive energy, and encouraging high fives to others. Aside from her phenomenal hustle, quick transition footwork, and her flawless dives, her on court communication, truly led her team when she was on or off the court.

Following a long rally, Opperman immediately encouraged her teammates, called the next play, and confidently took charge of the offense. On the next point, she delivered a consistent, well-placed set that lead to clean kill. Her communication and leadership suggest she has the qualities to lead her teams to some top finishes.
