stands out for her range and court awareness. She covers a large area, reads attacks early, and moves with purpose rather than panic. Her defensive positioning allows her to make difficult digs look routine. This club season, expect Stephanie to thrive in faster-paced matches, extending rallies and giving her team second chances against high-powered offenses. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas

, Class of 2028 DS/Libero, made her mark at the showcase with elite court awareness and non-stop hustle. She showed advanced defensive IQ, reading hitters early and positioning herself to be in the right place before the ball even crossed the net. Whether it was covering tips, closing seams, or chasing down out-of-system balls, Stephanie was everywhere. Her platform was clean, and she consistently delivered quality first contacts to target. She’s the kind of back-row leader every team needs—reliable, fearless, and always in control of the play.

Mergens is a really good middle back defender. She isn’t afraid to use her hands when needed and she is quick to drop her hips under the ball. Mergens moves well and can be found covering a ton of court.
