The defending D2 state champions are in the field of 32.  They took a hit to graduation, but still return experience and have a strong tradition of winning.  A key player for the Eagles is Lila Shadewald Lila Shadewald MH WI .  The middle blocker is averaging three kills per set and hitting just under .300.  She is an offensive and defensive force where the other side of the net needs to recognize when she’s in the front line. 

Sauk Prairie has two big time attackers in Mallory Hartwig Mallory Hartwig 6'0" | OH/RS Sauk Prairie | 2026 State WI and Alaina Kraemer Alaina Kraemer 5'11" | S Sauk Prairie | 2026 State WI who will are committed to  South Dakota and Illinois State.  However, teams cannot sleep on Lila Shadewald Lila Shadewald MH WI who is highly efficient and a major presence with her block at the net.  This section three in D2 is so deep and the Eagles will need the likes of Shadewald to continue to deliver.
