Rosemount vs. Hopkins
7 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 29

In addition to Martin, Hopkins gets back junior Greta Warner. The 5-foot-11 outside is a solid all-around player who was named to the Lake all-conference honorable mention team after totaling 215 kills and 143 digs last season. Controlling the middle for the Royals is 6-0 senior middle hitter Olivia Hawkins, who brings good size and balance to the floor. 

Senior setter Erin Slinde is the the velvet touch that sets up McLean’s powerful spike for the Irish. Slinde, an South Suburban all-conference selection, finished with 809 assists last season and will be counted on to continue guiding the Rosemount offense. Freshman defensive specialist/libero Marissa Hinkle looks to replicate her 142-dig performance from last season.
