Mackenzie Dufner Mackenzie Dufner 5'10" | S Minot | 2026 State ND – Setter – University of North Dakota Commit

Every great team starts with a great setter, and for North Dakota’s 2026 class, Mackenzie Dufner Mackenzie Dufner 5'10" | S Minot | 2026 State ND is the standard. Ranked the No. 1 setter in the state, Mackenzie controls the game with poise and creativity. She runs an offense that keeps defenses guessing — fast tempo to the pins, quick sets to the middle, and perfectly placed balls that allow her hitters to attack in rhythm. What makes her stand out is not just her technical skill, but her leadership. Mackenzie communicates with confidence, directing traffic, encouraging her teammates, and elevating everyone around her. She understands the game at a high level, seeing the block and making adjustments in real time. Off the court, she carries herself with the same presence — steady, approachable, and respected by teammates and coaches alike. Her hustle is unmatched, whether it’s chasing down tight passes or diving for a second-ball save. UND is getting a setter who doesn’t just distribute — she leads. And for those watching her this season, it’s obvious why she sits at the top of her position rankings. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas
