Expert Analysis
Mike Bryant | Prep Dig Scout
Tierney (*pictured) is another McNicholas prospect to land on the all-Ohio team and also among the top-five offensively in the GCL. Where she also shined this season was on the defensive side as she led the league at the net with 97 total blocks, just shy of her career best for a single season set in 2024. In the 2025 state championship match, she was dominant at the net with nine total blocks, helping the Rockets claim the crown. With a career best offensive effort of 236 total kills in 2025, the Appalachian State commit has career totals of 562 kills, 276 blocks, and 209 digs.

Tierney also uses her size well at the net for the Rockets. Tierney pounds down balls off a great approach to the net, especially on overpasses. She rebounds quickly on blocked balls readying herself to dig the blocks up then take another swing. She partners with teammates well to form sound double blocks.

Lilly Tierney‘s fundamentals shine on the court. She has a strong platform when passing and an aggressive arm swing, even from the back row. Her approach is consistent, though adding more speed with a slow-to-fast rhythm could elevate her power. She’s a vocal leader who communicates well with teammates, moves effectively on blocks, and snaps the ball with precision.

Their best impact in the middle comes from Tierney. She contributes 1.8 k/s on the offensive side but is a huge factor defensively as she leads the GCL in blocking at 4.3 b/m. She is highly active in all phases of her work at the net and provides a lot of energy and floor leadership. Anything the Rockets can get out of their middles in the way of offensive production continues to balance out their pin action well and Tierney is the primary go-to in that aspect.
