B-North Players to Watch

Shore Conference Players to Watch

B-North

Chelsea Geyer, So., MH/OH, Keyport

Despite only being a sophomore, Geyer has proved herself as a tremendous leader for a young Keyport squad. Geyer amassed 23 aces, 29 kills, 15 blocks, and 74 digs last season as a freshman and will build on those numbers during her sophomore season.

Megan Borys, Jr., OH/MB, Raritan

A two-year starter for the Rockets, Borys will transition from an outside hitter to middle blocker for her junior season. As a sophomore, Borys amassed 30 kills and 24 blocks out on the pins.

Annalesa DiLaurenzio, Sr., L, Raritan

DiLaurenzio will be just the second libero in history of the Raritan volleyball program. In addition to her success on the court, DiLaurenzio is also a standout on the softball diamond and has multiple opportunities to play softball in college.

Gabriella Pachamango, Sr., S, Raritan

Returning for her senior season, setter Gabriella Pachamango will be a key component to the Rockets offense this season.

Julia Blair, Sr., MB, Red Bank Catholic

Blair’s blocking presence and offensive efficiency will make her vital to the Caseys' game plan. Her toughness from the service line will make it very difficult for opposing teams to mount a consistent attack as well.

Catherine Curtin, Sr., OPP, Red Bank Catholic

Catherine's ability to attack from the right side will be crucial to the Casey’s ability to run a diversified offense. Her ability to block against the opposition's best attackers will set the stage for a lot of what the Casey’s can do defensively this season.

Amanda Dobrowolski, Sr., S, Red Bank Catholic

Dobrowolski’s versatility and experience at the setter position will be crucial to the success of the team this season. She is 71 aces shy of setting a new career mark at RBC. She also currently holds the single season assist record for the Casey’s, which she set during her junior year.

Ciara Hoffman, Sr., MB, Saint John Vianney

Last year, Hoffman was bouncing back from an ankle injury, but this year she is rehabbed and better than ever. A dominant force through the middle, Ciara has a well-rounded skill set -- she can serve, pass, set, hit, and block -- and she will help the Lancers with her strong net play.

Madeline Normoyle, Jr., S, Saint John Vianney

Normoyle got experience last year as a sophomore, coming in as a serving and defensive specialist for the Lancers during their championship run. This year, she will play an expanded role as she takes over at the helm of the Lancer offense. Her toughness and competitiveness make a natural leader on the floor, and this year she will get a chance to showcase what she can do.

Alexa Steensen, Sr., OH, Saint John Vianney

A four-year letter winner who has been with the Lancers for their last three Shore Conference titles, Steensen played as a defensive specialist for the past three years before moving to Outside Hitter this season. Alexa is a talented, multi-sport athlete who will be effective on both sides of the ball as a passer and a hitter.

Sophia Bellavia, Sr., OH/S, Trinity Hall

A senior who will do a little bit of everything this season for Trinity Hall, Bellavia will look to build off of a solid junior campaign.

Madeline Earle, Sr., MB, Trinity Hall

Trinity Hall will turn to Earle to be a solid producer at the net this season. She will use her blocking ability to provide a strong first line of defense for the Monarchs.

Jackie Fletcher, Sr., OH/S, Trinity Hall

With more than 100 career digs and entering her third varsity season, Trinity Hall will turn to Fletcher to provide senior leadership for an otherwise young squad.
