Freshman Madeline Siskin Madeline Siskin RS GA has already worked her way into a major offensive role for Pace Academy. She currently leads the Knights at 3.3 kills per set while hitting .289 and also sits atop their ace totals. Pace picked up wins over Paideia and Salem this week as its young pin continued carrying a meaningful share of the attack.

Madeline plays with the kind of aggressiveness I like seeing from a young pin. There’s no sense that she’s simply happy to be getting varsity swings. She’s trying to score. The next stage will be learning how to keep that aggression while adding more answers against bigger, better-organized blocks, but she’s already getting enough volume to work through those situations now. ~ S.Fitzgerald @BenchtoBeast_prepdigga
