Her best performance came in Week Two versus Team Hoffman, where she tallied 26 kills, which was just one shy of the single-match record, while setting a new single-set record with 15 kills. That match also marked the first double-double of the season. Her 6.19 kills per set average topped the league by a wide margin, and she sat in the captain’s chair for three straight weeks while maintaining her grip on the top spot.

Brittany Abercrombie – 9th Place (2,324 points)

Brittany Abercrombie followed up her 2024 championship season with another strong all-around performance. The 2024 champion opened the season as a Week One captain and closed that week with a 17-kill performance that yielded a season-best 0.47 hitting percentage.

Abercrombie recorded double figures in nine of her 12 matches, including a season-high 18 kills versus Team Cooper in Week Three. Her 3.92 kills per set average ranked fifth in the league, and she remained one of the most reliable offensive options in the championship. While she couldn’t repeat as champion, she produced an impressive follow-up campaign and finished in the Top 10 on the leaderboard for the second straight season.
