Erin Madigan

High School: Dakota
Position: S Senior
Height: 6'2
Commitment: Arkansas St.

Another tall setter on this list, Erin's physical play at the net really stands out. Her ability to shutdown the outside defensively is very impressive. Her hands as a setter are as beautiful as they come. Another setter that runs a quick and precise offense. Dakota will need her on if they are going to return to Battle Creek this season.

Remi is one of the best athletes playing volleyball. Her movement is as natural as they come and her quickness is second to none. There are even rumors that she is asked to set for her Grand Blanc team this season. Remi will do whatever her team needs to win and she will do it at an elite level.

Ava Sarafa

Position: S Senior
Height: 5'11
Commitment: Kentucky

Abby Reck

High School: Northville
Position: OH Senior
Height: 6'2
Commitment: Northeastern

Abby made the move from middle to outside her junior season and she excelled. Leading Northville to the quarterfinals last season, she is hoping to build on that success for 2022. Abby's versatility on the net will provide Northville with a lot of matchup problems for other teams.

Campbell Flynn

High School: Mercy
Position: S/RH Sophomore
Height: 6'2
Commitment: Uncommitted

This dominant lefty setter can do it all for Mercy.  Her left hand, whether she is attacking or setting in the front row, poses problems for teams across the net.  Considered one of the top 2025's in the state, she will be a force for a few more seasons.

Nina Horning

High School: Lake Orion
Position: OH Senior
