Please officially welcome Miss Tawi; to the State Rankings.  She is currently ranked as the 79^th best overall player according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings.  She plays volleyball for Village Christian High School and also plays at the Sunshine volleyball club.  Recently she chose to play college volleyball at the University of Maryland.  Equipped with prototypical length in her frame, she is ready to help lead the Terrapins to a strong showing next year.  As a setter, I like how decisive she is with distributing the ball.  She knows exactly where she is going to go with the ball and does not hesitate in delivery.  The ball comes out really fast and hits the bullseye over and over.  She is strong enough to push the ball to both pins from any location on the court and that will be a big help to Maryland’s offense.  We are proud to have her listed in our publication.  Please help us congratulate her on earning a spot in our prestigious State Rankings. 

For Nikki Tawil Nikki Tawil 5'11" | S Village Christian | 2025 State CA , achieving her dream of playing D1 volleyball in the Big Ten Conference has been a journey marked by perseverance and patience. Nikki, who is committed to playing for Maryland, reflects on her accomplishment with pride. “Seeing all my hard work and patience pay off has been the most rewarding part,” she shares. To prepare for the intensity of college volleyball, Nikki has stepped up her physical training and is honing her mental game through goal-setting and confidence-building exercises. She has found that staying organized and managing her time effectively is key to balancing academics and athletics. Her advice to younger players is to be patient and trust the process, focusing on continuous improvement rather than comparing oneself to others. Nikki’s journey underscores the value of resilience and determination in reaching one’s goals. Michelle Bamford @ PrepDig
