🔁 WHO’S BACK FOR 2025?

Although the Rams are graduating some standout seniors, they’ve got a powerhouse group of returning athletes ready to take the reins. Here are the players to watch in 2025:

💥 Mia Lafeve (Outside Hitter) – Class of 2026

The hammer on the outside! With 182 kills, Mia was one of the Rams’ most reliable offensive weapons. Expect her to level up as the go-to finisher this fall season.

🧱 Chloe Buckley (Middle Blocker) – Class of 2026

Tall, tough, and tenacious, Chloe stacked 21 blocks and will be key in controlling the net. Her presence in the middle is only getting stronger.

🛡 Brooklynn Kahn-Jacques (Libero) – Class of 2026

The backbone of the Rams' defense. With a team-leading 395 digs and 327 receptions, Brooklynn reads the game like a pro. She’s a vocal leader and the engine of Holt’s back row.

🎯 Eeva Luoma (Defensive Specialist) – Class of 2026

Under-the-radar in 2024, but not for long. Eeva posted 223 receptions and showed poise under pressure. Watch for her role to expand in a big way.

🔮 LOOKING AHEAD TO 2025

This team isn’t rebuilding, it’s reloading!

The Rams return a battle-tested core that knows how to win. With Mia’s powerful swing, Brooklynn’s elite defense, and Chloe’s net presence, Holt is poised to stay at the top of the Capital Area standings. Factor in rising talent and offseason development, and there’s serious postseason potential brewing.
