THE PLAYMAKERS: The college landscape is filled with exceptional talent, including Aiyana Whitney of Penn State (opposite page), Alex Holston of Florida and setter Lauren Carlini of Wisconsin.


Megan Courtney – Penn State University OH, Sr., 6-1, Hometown: Dayton, Ohio Holly’s take: “Six-rotation player who does it all for Penn State. Is the


team’s glue in terms of ball control and passing. Most Outstanding Player of last year’s NCAA Championship when PSU won its record-setting sev- enth championship.”


Ali Frantti – Penn State University OH, So., 6-2, Hometown: Spring Grove, Illinois • 2015 U.S. Women’s National Team


Winter Training Block Holly’s take: “Another big left-side hitter for Penn State. Can score in or out of system.”


Macey Gardner – Arizona State University OH, Sr., 6-0, Hometown: Gilbert, Arizona • 2015 U.S. Women’s National Team Winter


Training Block Holly’s take: “Undersized outside hitter who brings big-time heat. Huge go-to player for the Sun Devils who is not intimidated by the big blocks she faces in the Pac 12 Conference.”


Alexa Gray – Brigham Young University OH, Sr., 6-2, Hometown: Calgary, Alberta, Canada Holly’s take: “Has lots of very effective beach-like shots and is also hit- ting well from the back-row this season. Played a big role in BYU’s run to the NCAA championship match last year.”
