Riley Sommerfeld Riley Sommerfeld 5'4" | DS/L Kuemper Catholic | 2029 IA stood out for her defensive anticipation. She read hitters early — particularly off-speed swings and tips — positioning herself before contact instead of reacting late. Her platform remained quiet, and her shoulders stayed square to target in serve receive, minimizing overpasses and keeping offensive rhythm intact.

Across both days, Sommerfeld showed discipline in seam communication and defensive spacing. She rarely overcommitted and trusted her positioning. That awareness, combined with steady first contact, made her one of the more controlled backrow presences on the floor. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas
