“Rachael is a phenomenal volleyball player and a huge contributor to Elkton-Lake Benton’s back-to-back state tournament appearances,” ELB head coach Melissa Erickson said. “She is incredible on defense and determined to play every ball. Rachael is especially capable of reading defenders and putting herself in the right position to play the ball which is why we can keep a lot of balls in play.”

Melissa Erickson also praised Krog’s ability defensively, first as a libero and after her transition to outside hitter.

“Rachel is not only solid in the backcourt, but she also puts up a big solid block in the back row,” Erickson said. “Undoubtedly our best serve receiver, Rachael spends five rotations passing the ball and her consistency establishes the Lady Elks as an offensive threat. Rachel has demonstrated herself as a solid all-around hitter.”

Erickson had 1,022 assists, 355 digs, 68 aces, 59 kills, and 73 blocks for the Lady Elks this season. For her career, she has 295 kills, 119 aces, a serving percentage of 95 percent, 25 solo blocks, 52 block assists, and 2,116 set assists.

“Tevin is an invaluable asset to the Lady Elks volleyball team and the key to our successful offense,” ELB head coach Melissa Erickson said. “Tevan’s speed, court awareness, and accuracy allow her to distribute the ball with her precise placement of all types of sets. Tevan sets the tempo of our entire offense with her ability to simultaneously judge a pass, consider her hitters, read the defense and successfully call the most optimal play.”

“Kylie is a strong asset to our team by contributing to both offense and defense,” Erickson said. “Kylie is quick at the net, making her a significant threat in the middle hitter position. She reads the ball exceptionally well and anticipates its movement, allowing her numerous touches whether offensively or defensively. Those touches either stop the ball or slow the ball down for our defense to pick up. During her back row rotations, Kylie’s length and readability keep the ball in play for our front-row hitters and she is a reliable passer on the serve receive. Kylie is a player we can consistently count on no matter where she’s at on the court.”

Daniela is our go-to offensive threat when we need it and someone we can rely on to send an aggressive attack over no matter the situation.
