Expert Analysis
Austin Kingsley | Prep Dig Scout
Early-season events gave us a good glimpse at one of Nebraska Elite 15-1’s biggest strengths: physicality in the middle. McGaugh fortifies this strength at the net and offers a lot more to the Nebraska Elite effort. She is developing a diverse route tree as an attacker and has a knack for finding gaps in the defense. Of course, McGaugh becomes a contributor to her own team’s defense with stifling blocks from pin to pin. Bennington High School continues a strong tradition of high-impact middle blockers.

Look out for this dynamic middle blocker on Nebraska Elite’s top 15s squad. McGaugh made big strides during the 2024 club season and influenced matches as an attacker and a defender. Her physicality presented tough matchups for opposing hitters, as McGaugh could smother swings close to the net. Nebraska Elite also incorporated McGaugh in its in-system offense, especially on the ‘quick’ in front of the setter. Add to the list of up-and-coming middle blockers in the Nebraska Elite gym.
