Article: Little Ten boasts big-time girls volleyball presence; Athletes to Watch Marcie Bomhack, jr., Waukesha Catholic Memorial: A first-team all-conference player last year, she will do the lion's share of her team's hitting. She also stands to break a number of school records. Shelly Draeger, soph., Wisconsin Lutheran: She spent half a season on the varsity last year as a freshman. An exciting player, coaches say. Crystal Gassner, sr., Slinger: A 6-foot middle blocker-outside hitter, she had nearly 90 stuff blocks last year. Look for her to be a dominant presence at the net in the Parkland Conference. Trish Greenmeier, sr., Milwaukee Bay View: A versatile player, she will split time between setting and outside hitting. Kerri Holz, sr., Waupun: A strong setter, she has two championship seasons under her belt. Her leadership, experience and consistent setting are key to another championship quest. Hayley Jones, sr., Milwaukee Pius: A 6-1 senior, she had an impressive club season. She should be one of the best hitters. Katie Klink, jr., Milwaukee DSHA: Although this is her first year on varsity, she should be a force, providing a powerful swing and great defense, not just at the net but in the back row. Katie Maschman, sr., Germantown: A talented senior, she should improve her hitting and also step up her blocking. Abby Zielke, sr., Menomonee Falls: Many coaches say she might be one of the most dominant players in the North Shore conference. She is a strong hitter and has a powerful serve that generates plenty of aces. Sarah Zuzinec, soph., Kenosha Tremper: She is a 5-7 setter. Look for this talented sophomore to set with quick efficiency and accuracy, and also to function as a strong blocker.
