14 Open

Ava McBride, S/RS, Actyve 14 Black – A 5-10 hybrid who hits in the front row and sets when she’s in the back row. She hits pretty well when up but as a tall setter she is very athletic and mobile and is able to chase down errant passes. Her training shows as her technique is pretty fluid.

Lily Rolfes, Arizona Storm 14 Thunder – An athletic setter with strong and consistent location is a great thing. Then add the fact that Rolfes has a strong and energetic vibe is what can be called a setter’s personality.

Emery Gonzales, Wave 14 Brennan – At 5-9 with a 23-inch vertical defines athleticism. Gonzales is quick and able to set any ball. Combined with consistent location makes for happy hitters. Her deceptive setter dumps combined with good decision fueled her team to the gold medal.

Adelyn Chang, Arizona Storm Thunder 13 – One way to be a 5-2, six-rotation setter is to be relentless! Chang blocks and digs then chases down and sets such a pretty outside set. Her mixture of setting her front row players and setting the bic is impressive and shows her high volley IQ.

15 Open

KK Green, S/RS, OT 15 Meg – A two-way contributor, Green has a soft touch and consistent accuracy when setting. She also carries a strong arm and hits the ball hard.

Ruby Hill, S/RS, Tstreet 15 Curtis – A four-star recruit, Hill is one of the keys to the lineup. She plays a versatile role by setting and hitting. She’s 6-2, so she brings length to the front row with her hitting and blocking.

Avery Lim, Arizona Storm 15 Thunder – An eight-grader playing up, Lim showed her toughness by playing the end of Sunday with a sprained ankle. She went down midway through the semifinals and was out for a bit before coming back and finish the day with a noticeable limp.

Hannah Beauford, S/RS, Drive Nation 15 Red – A three-star recruit, Beauford is another versatile player who gives Drive Nation options of running a 5-1 or a 6-2. With Drive Nation down a right side this weekend, she was setting back row and hitting across the front.

Chloe Elarton, Co Jrs 15 Shannon – It was the first time we got to see this three-star recruit doing her thing. Elarton, who is 5-11, has soft hands and nice touch to her consistent delivery.

Ayva Ostovar, Mizuno Long Beach 15 Rockstar – One half of the Beach setting duo, Ostovar is scrappy and one of the better defensive setters. She has consistent location as well.

Isabella Jones, Mizuno Long Beach 15 Rockstar – Jones is the other half of the setting package for Beach. She has nice hands and also delivers consistently to put her hitters in good positions.

16 Open

Izzy Starck, S/RS, Co Jrs 16 Sherri – This five-star recruit was doing it all, but was especially effective on the attack. Starck was explosive, getting up and hammering balls down all over the court.

Juleigh Urbina, OT 16 Roberto – Urbina – who is a three-star recruit – was helping the OT offense click. She has a good hands with a smooth deliver and doesn’t miss her target often.

Brooke Hansen, S/RS, Forza1 North 16 UA – A freshman playing up an age group, Hansen is integral to what Forza does. She’s been improving throughout the year as a setter. At 5-11, she’s not the tallest but tall enough to do some damage with her swing.

Charlie Fuerbringer, S/RS, Mizuno Long Beach 16 Rockstar – We’ve written quite a few times about Fuerbringer, a five-star recruit, this season. Her setting is effortless and smooth and she’s rarely off her mark. She’s a smart hitter with beach prowess that gives her a wide variety of shots to throw at defenses.

Maya Baker, Vision 16 Gold – Baker is a three-star recruit for the Class of 2025. She knows how to run an offense well and gets all her hitters involved when Vision is passing well enough to do so. She has great hands and is accurate as well.

Logan Tusher, Absolute Black 16-1 – A 6-0, three-star recruit, Tusher has a bright future. She can move the ball around very well and puts her hitters in favorable matchups regularly.

Kiersten Remensperger, Coast 16-1 – Another three-star recruit, Remensperger is a bit undersized at 5-9. However, she’s quick and athletic and gets to the ball well. She has great connections with her middles too.

Amanda Saeger, Wave 16 Brennan – At 5-10, Saeger is a four-star recruit. She doesn’t get rattled and has good command of the offense. She also connects well with her middles and is rarely off target.

17 Open

Fatimah Hall, S/RS, Mizuno Long Beach 17 Rockstar – This three-star recruit and San Diego State commit is an athletic setter who delivers with great tempo. Mixing her athleticism and deception makes her valuable when passes are not in system.

Zoe Rachow, Coast 17-1 – Rachow – a three-star recruit who is committed to Tulane – is strong with the ability to set balls further away from her target then some others could. She also does well mixing in her hitters and it can be hard to read where she’s going at times.

Madison Maxwell, S/RS, Legacy Girls 17 Pyramid – Another three-star recruit, the 6-1 Maxwell is a Class of 2024 playing up. She’s vital to what Legacy does, with her ability to be a legit scoring threat across the front row and a reliable setter in the back.

Nicole Feliciano, S/RS, Tstreet 17 Naseri – Another setter/right side who plays a key role in the lineup, Feliciano does well dishing to her targets. She’s also an impact scorer as she’s capable of delivering some loud kills.

Shanelle Puetz, Wave 17 Juliana – Puetz was sharing setting duties. One of her strong suits is being able to go against the flow. Her delivery is sharp and she’s on point regularly.

Nicole Quinn, Wave 17 Juliana – Quinn – who is committed to Duke – was also sharing setting duties for Wave. She set Day 1 and at other parts of the weekend as well, including in key matches Monday. She has nice hands and a smooth delivery.

Callie Kieffer, Drive Nation 17 Red – A four-star recruit committed to Alabama, Kieffer is part of a 6-2. Her hands are soft and she sets a really clean ball with consistent location.

Lily Nicholson, Drive Nation 17 Red – Part of the 6-2 Drive Nation runs, Nicholson is also a four-star recruit. She’s committed to TCU. She’s similar to Kieffer with a really nice touch and ability to spread the ball around to her hitters.
