Isabelle Puchalski '26 Recruiting Profile

I'm a 6 rotation player who played a pivotal role in back to back State appearances with a 3rd place finish at the Minnesota State High School League Volleyball tournament-2024 (6th place-2023). I was also awarded All-Conference for the 2024 and 2025 seasons and MN All State 2025. Team captain 2024-2025 and play - OH/MH for WCA high school, MH/OH for Alexandria Volleyball club. Defensively WCA-Middle back, occasionally left back, and AVC-middle back, I have a great serve receive and read the hitters/court very well. At 5'8" I'm a very quick player, with a great vertical. I'm a great cheerleader for my teammates, very good at communicating, and love a good challenge of chasing down a shanked ball to keep it in play (Hustle award 3 years in a row). Whether it's in practice drills or games, I don't like to lose. As of this time I am undecided what I want to major in, but leaning towards a business degree. I'm looking for a school at any level that will offer a great athletic scholarship, with great coaching that will continue to push me to grow as a person and a player on and off the court, where I can be an asset to the team from the get go. I take school very seriously. I come from a small school, and I'm a 3 sport athlete. Along with volleyball, I play basketball (State Champions 2025 - 1st team in school history to win a championship) Team Captain '25-'26, and softball (All-Conference 2024, Team Captain 2025-2026). I enjoy going on mission trips with my church family. I love our MN summers at the lake with family and friends, family trips to the mountains whether it's snowmobiling or riding UTV's, and spending time with my grandparents in Florida during the winter.
