Cielinski, middle #20, impressed me with her slide routes. Her takeoff from the ground looks so natural yet aggressive. Almost every time they ran this slide, Cielinski put it down, resulting in a killer point. Similarly, her block was HUGE. She was sealing the net, not letting any attack get through it!

Committed to Marshall University, Cieslinski is a versatile offensive prospect. At 6’0, she has quality tools in her ability to score at the pins and through middle options. This range of offense increases her opportunity to impact the game as she can shift from swinging through tempo at the pins to then run fast middle routes through various attack points in front or behind the setter with equally terminal results.

Kiersten was super fun to watch at the Gauntlet. She was regularly in the front row with setter Payton Scrifes and ran a smooth and explosive slide. She has great footwork and an awesome setter-middle connection. Everything she does is clean and disciplined, and it really sets her up for success.
