Tiernan Naus Tiernan Naus 5'3" | S Burlington (Central) | 2027 State IL brought a high-level feel for tempo and spacing that stood out across multiple matches. She did a great job running a balanced offense, but what caught my attention was how effectively she utilized the slide. She connected consistently in transition, creating movement laterally that pulled blockers off their base and opened up the rest of the court.

Her tempo to the pins was clean and repeatable, especially on faster sets that allowed hitters to stay ahead of the block. Tiernan also showed confidence setting in tight windows—delivering quick decisions without hesitation. When plays broke down, she didn’t rush—she stayed composed, found her hitters, and kept the offense moving. There was a steady rhythm to how she ran her system, and it translated into consistent production. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas

Tiernan was a breakout star at the Expo. She has the trifecta of setting talent: disciplined form, good hands, quick contact on the ball. She thrived in scrimmage play, where she could run the court and build momentum through great play. Her solid fundamentals and keen eye made her dangerous and hard to read, especially when she was on the move.

Tiernan has excellent fundamentals. She has impeccable footwork, which I think is one of the best compliments a setter can receive. Her fundamentals helped her be consistent with the placement and tempo of her sets. She showed how talented she is in 6v6 and transition drills. Tiernan stepped up every time she was on the court.
