Girls volleyball: 2025 Group 2 state tournament previews

North 2 | Bracket Defending champion: Lyndhurst Favorite: Hackettstown It has been a dream season for the Tigers. Entering the playoffs with a 22-5 record, Hackettstown became the first team from Warren County to ever win the H/W/S tournament. They also tied with Madison as co-division champs in the NJAC-Freedom. Senior Ava Fiedler (291 kills) will go down as one of the two best players in program history, but she has her team revved for what is anticipated to be an exciting postseason. Freshman Abbie Schlesinger (500 assists) has ignited this team into becoming a win-now program. Other Hackettstown players to watch: Eva French (125 kills), Hollie Ahlers (269 digs), Anna Willis (91 kills), Nicole Willis (180 digs, 66 aces). This section is filled with teams capable of upsets. West Morris, West Essex, Mendham, and Parsippany Hills all have ranked wins this season. Then there is defending champ Lyndhurst, who has recent championship experience.
