Voting closes at 6pm on Thursday.
Amber Dangelica
Cresskill senior setter
Danjelica played a big role in handing NJIC Patriot rival Emerson its first divisional loss of the season on Oct. 21. She had 20 assists, 3 digs, 3 digs and 3 aces in the Cougars’ three-set win along with a team-high 17 points -5 starts, she had 369 assists and 29 digs.
Abigail Depery
Senior libero Saddle Brook
DePerry, who has been a member of the Falcons’ varsity since the middle of her freshman year, had a season-high 29 digs in a three-set win over Indian Hills on Oct. 11. She entered the state tournament with more than 560 career digs, including more than 200 this fall.
Gabby Imburgia
Fair Lawn senior outside hitter
Imburgia was a big reason the Cutters finished 10-0 in Big North Independence. She led the team in kills (248) and aces (61) and tied for second in digs (61) during an 18-6 start and helped snap a five-match slump with nine kills in the opener against Passaic.
Mia Piantina
Paskak Hills, senior outside hitter
Piantino, a six-rotation regular for the Broncos, opened October with a double-double (19 kills, 14 digs) against Ramsey and kept the momentum going. Thanks to a 15-8 start, she registered team highs in kills (206) and aces (47) after playing middle blocker as a junior.
Cammy Quirk
Ridgewood senior setter
Quirk led the Maroons to the Big North Patriot title, leading the team in assists (305), digs (229) and kills (128) during a 14-8 start. Coach Jaime Gilfeder said, “It’s almost unheard of for an exclusive setter to lead in digs and kills” in a 5-1 offense.
Brooklyn Talmadge
Immaculate Heart Senior Secondary
Talmadge was the driving force behind the Bergen County Blue Eagles’ championship. The Bryant University commit showed an ability to jump and attack that made her hard to stop as she finished the district finals with 12 kills and four blocks.
