Five Outlaws named all-league

The Lady Outlaws had five volleyball players selected to all-league teams, including Kathryn Scholl and Holly Davis, who were first-team, all-league picks. 

Scholl finished league with 11.9 kills (first on the team), 1.7 aces, 7.4 digs, and 1.2 blocks per match this season. 

Coach Josh Kreunen said, “Kathryn is the ultimate team player, willing to play any position on the court to help the team. With the ability to score anywhere along the net and at the service line, Kathryn finished the season as the leading scorer for the Outlaws. She also worked on and improved her ball control throughout the season and ended up being a top passer and defender at the net and in the back row, solidifying her role as an elite six rotation player. Throughout the year and even through injury, Kathryn led by example in how hard she worked every time she stepped on the court, whether it was in a practice or a state playoff match.”

Davis was the Outlaws’ setter and also played all six rotations. She recorded 28.3 assists (first on the team), 1.8 aces, 7.3 digs, and 0.8 blocks per match.

“Holly is an exceptional leader and captain,” said Kreunen. “She consistently demanded the best from herself and her teammates and helped each teammate reach their potential. Holly excelled in running the offense, finding the hot hitters and was also a huge contribution at the service line. Holly is also an elite defensive setter, finishing in the top three for digs and blocking as well. From the first minute of tryouts through the last point in the state playoffs, Holly consistently competed at the highest level mentally and physically.”

The Outlaws’ libero (defensive specialist), Jordyn Monaghan, earned second team all -ague honors. She tallied 9.1 digs,  2.2 aces, and 1.9 assists per match.

“Jordyn is a well respected captain and leader for the Outlaws,” said Kreunen. “As the quarterback of the back row, Jordyn helped all the passers become better individually and as a group, while continuing to improve her passing throughout the season. Her confidence and drive were contagious for the team and especially the younger players. Jordyn earned her way to the All League All Defensive Team through gritty, smart defense. Offensively, Jordyn was a huge factor at the service line with the highest/toughest server rating. Her lead-by-example personality helped lead the team to a lot of success this year.”

Both Haven Heuberger and Alli Fogarty were honorable mention.

Heuberger played primarily as an outside hitter and recorded 6.9 kills and 0.3 blocks per match.

“Haven is a talented offensive player, who can score from all parts of the court, “ said Kreunen. “As the season progressed, Haven became a go-to for points and scoring, especially transitioning out of defense and out of system sets. Throughout the year, she improved her offense by developing more shots, faster, higher swings and smart shots. Haven was a huge part of the Outlaws’ success this year through her aggressive offense and always attacking mentality.”

Fogarty rounded out the all league selections. She played in the back row as a defensive specialist, and posted 8.6 digs, and 2.7 aces (first on the team) per match. She was also first on the team in receiving the serve.

Kreunen said, “With quiet confidence and high expectations of herself, Allison became one of the Outlaws top passers and defenders. Making the jump from JV2 last year to varsity this year, she made huge improvements out of season and during this season in her passing, defense, and serving. She finished the season as the Outlaws’ top server and passer, and on multiple occasions finished out matches with aces or long service runs. Throughout the season she was the rock behind the teams’ serving and serve receive.”
