Alyssa Ehrhardt - Jacobs - 2 all time records, 1,000 + kills, 250 + aces! CONGRATS
Congrats To Taylor Fricano, Prepvolleyball's Senior Ace #33!
Fairly new to the game, having only two years of club experience, Fricano is just starting to understand what type of player she can be. She is 6-3 and growing, with a very athletic build and already jump touches 10-5. One of the fastest rising players on this list, Fricano has all of the physical tools to be a monster at the pins once her experience catches up to her unbelievable potential. Her blocking is first rate right now, which is why she has made a home for herself on the right side. Fricano has worked hard to become a six-rotation player, even going as far as attending several libero camps to improve her ball skills. That work ethic and level of motivation, coupled with her size and athletic prowess, make the coaching staff at Dayton, where Fricano has committed, smile thinking of the impact she will make on the Flyer program and the fear she will strike into the hearts of the Atlantic 10.
Congrats To Cindy Zhou, Prepvolleyball's Senior Ace #91!
Zhou is a very physical and offensive-minded setter with the ability to move well. Quick feet allow her to get to and set pretty much any ball on the court, creating strong scoring opportunities for her team on almost every point. At 6-1, she is a strong front-row presence, from her blocking to her quick release tip that in one coach’s opinion is unstoppable. Zhou has a deep desire to not only win, but also to get the best out of everyone. On pace to be her school’s career assists leader, Zhou will bring a significant amount of experience to the collegiate level but still possesses a great deal of room to improve. She comes from a great tradition of volleyball and athletic success, as her mom was a high-level volleyball player and her father competed in soccer, both in China. She is very strong in the classroom, boasting a 4.6 GPA on a 4.0 scale, and will a great addition academically and on the volleyball court at Michigan, where she has committed.
Congrats to Mackenzi Humm who was on the next 20 list that just missed out on making the top 100 list of Prepvolleyball's Senior Aces!
Congrats to Sky High Coach Chas Kennedy & Coach Kyle Due for their Regional win in the Bud Light Lime Sand Volleyball Tournament. They will be competing in the BLL National Sand Volleyball Tournament in Miami, Florida in September!
