Huesinkvelt is one of those players right in my backyard that I’m really excited that I get to watch frequently as she grows her game. She is a true outside hitter. She can unload on the outside with a big swing but she is also really good at being the “cleanup” person the position requires. A lot of times, she (just like any other outside hitter) is forced to deal with the out of system or “junk” balls sent her way. What I appreciate about Heusinkvelt is not only can she put down the in system ball but she does a great job turning the out of system junk into points also.

Sylvia Heusinkvelt Sylvia Heusinkvelt 5'9" | OH/DS/L Stewartville | 2029 State MN is the type of hitter who gets tougher to deal with as a match goes on, and the Class of 2029 prospect is currently ranked No. 4 overall. Some players need a couple swings to get settled. Sylvia is ready to go from the get-go. She is available, works hard in transition, and puts pressure on opposing defenses. I like the fact that she doesn’t disappear when the going gets tough. She keeps competing, keeps making quality swings and keeps making defenses earn every point. ~Theresa@prepdigdakotas

Sylvia Heusinkvelt Sylvia Heusinkvelt 5'9" | OH/DS/L Stewartville | 2029 State MN brings the kind of all-around game that continues to become more valuable every year. As a true 6-rotation outside, she impacts matches in nearly every phase. Sylvia has become much more confident attacking in transition, especially finding deep corners and attacking hands when the block is set. But what really separates her is her ability to stay engaged through the entire rotation cycle. She is handling serve receive responsibilities, defending aggressively in the back row, and still producing offensively at the net. Her conditioning, motor, and ability to stay effective deep into matches is impressive. Sylvia looks like a player whose confidence is catching up with her skill level, and that combination is starting to create major momentum in her game.
