American Conference

Head Coach: Katie Cicione

Players to watch: Spiesz, Emerson, 12th Grade, #29, DS/L Emerson has already reached career milestones, broken school records, and committed to play Division I volleyball at USC Upstate—yet she’s still driven to accomplish more, which pushes our entire program to work harder. She shines under pressure, thrives in high-stakes moments, and her ability to stay calm, focused, and deliver when it matters most is a testament to her mental toughness.– Liepins, Kaylie, 10th Grade, #14, Setter Kaylie is coming off a monster freshman year and is already closing in on a career milestone that very few players ever reach—especially this early. She consistently competes at a high level, leads with exceptional volleyball IQ, and brings a calm, steady presence that’s a huge asset to our program.– Verdova, Aubrey, 11th Grade, #12, OH/DS Aubrey’s commitment to excellence pushes everyone around her to work harder. She plays with a high volleyball IQ, brings a strong physical presence, and her competitive edge will be a key factor in our success this year.

Season outlook: Our goals this season are set high—we’re aiming to compete for another Suburban League championship and add another number to our banner. You can feel the drive behind everything we do. This group is ready to be the best they can be for each other, our program, and our community. With a strong core of returning players, we have an edge over many opponents.
