The 6-foot-3 setter had 28 assists and five kills as top-ranked Farmington Hills Mercy swept rival and No. 4-ranked Bloomfield Hills Marian 25-15, 25-15, 25-21. Mercy is the reigning Division 1 champion – having ended Marian’s three-year hold on the title last fall – and Flynn is considered among the top seniors nationally and earlier this month was named one of 10 finalists for this season’s Miss Volleyball Award from the Michigan Interscholastic Volleyball Coaches Association.

Flynn entered this fall as a two-time Division 1 all-state first-team selection and made the third team as a freshman. She also has built up significant international experience as well over the last two years as a member of USA Volleyball’s U19 and U21 national teams. She will continue her career at Nebraska, which is ranked No. 2 this week and has finished NCAA Tournament runner-up two of the last three seasons including a year ago.
