Zmolek has steadily improved each time I’ve seen her the last few seasons. The South Tama junior is a difference maker on the right side of the net as a powerful right-handed attacker with size, long arms and leaping ability. Zmolek has worked hard on her skills and turned herself into a six-rotation presence. She ends points with high efficiency and is an imposing blocker. Her technique continues to improve with plenty of room for more growth in that endeavor. The CIA standout also shows an aptitude for swinging from the outside pin. Zmolek ranked second among South Tama Trojans with 177 kills (.349) last fall. She also contributed 34.0 blocks.

I’ve enjoyed watching Zmolek’s game develop during the last few seasons. The South Tama County sophomore has provided an advantage for her teams against most opponents on the right-side of the net. Her height and long arms are complemented by explosiveness off of the court and excellent leaping ability. The talents allow for ending points with authority or sending the attack back to opponents via the block. Zmolek changes a lot of swings even when she doesn’t get her hands on the ball. The CIA standout gets on top of the ball when on the attack and generates power. Zmolek has worked hard at becoming a six-rotation opposite pin, holding up well in serve-receive and defending in the back row. She also shows potential swinging from the outside pin. Zmolek ranked second among Trojans with 177 kills (.349) last fall. She also contributed 34.0 blocks.

It’s about time we brought a few more terminal opposites into the equation. Zmolek did plenty to demonstrate her scoring ability when she represented South Tama County in 2025. She soared up the efficiency charts with a 0.349 hitting clip and had the second-best kill total on her veteran-laden squad. Zmolek’s efforts were just as notable on the Prep Dig Circuit, as she elevated over opposing blockers at Sunday’s scrimmages. Club Iowa Juniors has a surefire leader to build around.
