About Laci

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

My gameplay style is versatile and dynamic. On offense, I focus on quick, well-timed attacks using a mix of powerful hits and smart off-speed shots to keep the defense guessing. On defense, I'm highly reactive and mobile. I pride myself on being a relentless communicator on the court, anticipating and reading the opponent’s plays. My goal is to be aggressive at the net and solid in the backcourt.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I prioritize both mental health and my athletic performance, believing that balance is key to being a strong athlete. I stay focused and competitive, but also recognize the importance of mental clarity and self-care. By staying grounded and resilient, I can handle pressure while keeping a healthy mindset—allowing me to perform at my best, both on and off the court.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

'24-'25 National Honor Society '24-'25 FBLA '24, '23 Northern Lake County Conference (NLCC) All-Academic '23 AVCA Team Academic Award '23 Teen Miss Lake County of Wauconda '22 President’s Education Award for Outstanding Academic Excellence '22 Teen Miss Wauconda '20-'22 Superior High Honors '21-'22 National Junior Honor Society '19-'20 Student Council Treasurer '19 Illinois Principals Award

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I've participated in philanthropy and communiity events since I was three years old and they have helped me develop strong leadership, teamwork, and service skills. I've learned to lead with confidence, collaborate with others, and use my platform to give back through volunteer work and advocacy. These experiences have shaped me into a more compassionate, confident, and impactful person.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

Yes, I've faced significant challenges, including battling COVID-19 and coping with the tragic loss of a loved one to suicide. The physical and emotional toll of both experiences was overwhelming, but they taught me the importance of resilience, self-care, and seeking support when needed. Going through these hardships deepened my empathy and strengthened my resolve to be there for others.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a college that challenges me academically, offers diverse experiences, and prepares me for a successful future. I want to grow both personally and professionally, with opportunities that set me up for long-term success.

Laci makes good contact with the ball when she swings. Because of that it gives her great control over the ball. She’s a smart hitter. Can beat you different ways with her hitting. I looked into more of her highlights as well and you can tell she understands the game of volleyball and how to beat her opponent. Accuracy when hitting is key, and Laci can find her spots.
