Broadneck, setter
The All-Metro player returns for her fourth varsity season as the catalyst of the defending 4A state champion.
Amanda Hernandez
Arundel, setter
Hernandez set a school record for assists (507) as an All-County junior last season. She makes the Wildcats a 4A contender.
Stephanie Kines

Baltimore County's premier hitter, she led Towson to its first state title in her third varsity season.
Ali Kupec
River Hill, hitter
This 6-foot senior can take over a match with her strength in hitting and serving and precision passing.

Liberty, setter
The senior, who paced the Lions to the 3A state semifinals a year ago, is Carroll County's top setter.

The only junior in this group, Stradling led the 2A state finalists last season in assists (6.6). She also had 155 digs and hit 91 percent of her serves.

Strong, athletic and versatile, the senior was a second-team All-Metro choice last fall after leading Howard County in blocks.
