Heights spikers earn all-conference honors

Wisconsin Heights’ girls volleyball team had two players named all-Capitol South Conference. Junior Maya Luko and sophomore Sonja Severson were both named honorable-mention all-conference. “Both Maya and Sonja bring so much beyond their volleyball skills to the team,” Heights coach Katie Doescher said. “This is a well-deserved honor for them.” Luko finished the year with 160 digs and 33 aces. She added 13 kills, 18 assists and had a service receive rating of 1.54, the second-best on the team. Severson had 102 kills and 230 digs. She added 23 assists, 11 blocks and led the Vanguards with a service receive ratio of 1.65. “Every day  they show up with 100% effort, focus, positivity, leadership and resilience,” Doescher said of Luko and Severson. “You can count on them for hustle and heart that is second to none. Each of these girls is determined, sets high standards for themselves and they really put their team above themselves. I’m very excited to watch them continue to rise next season.”   All-Capitol South Conference     Girls Volleyball           First Team Name School Yr.
