A very important part of Storm’s offense, Farnes showcased her high vertical, explosive approach, and quick arm swing this entire weekend. Her crosscourt swing and ability to see holes in the block set her apart from many of the other hitters at the tournament. She remained aggressive and was not afraid of using the block if it was in front of her.

Summer NIT gives Presley Farnes exactly what she is looking for: exposure, elite competition, and an opportunity to see how her game stacks up against some of the strongest teams in the country. The Arizona Storm pin hitter is excited to compete in the Power Pool and test herself against high-level opponents while helping her team showcase its competitive spirit and ability to have fun while competing.

At just 14 years old, Presley understands that her recruiting journey is still in its early stages. Off the court, she describes herself as a good friend and teammate who is continuing to learn more about the type of college environment that will eventually be the right fit. What she does know is that confidence and accountability matter. Her advice to younger athletes reflects the mindset she brings into every opportunity: hold yourself accountable even when nobody is watching because that’s often what separates good from great.
