Head Coach Margot Royer's comments about the newly signed athletes.
Carly Morrison - "Carly is a smart, highly skilled setter that knows how to run an offense. She knows the game of volleyball better than most her age and will be a great leader for us in years to come. With the combination of her court sense and intelligence, we feel she is one of the top setters to come out of her class."
Lauren Hendel - "Lauren is a nice addition to our team. She is a well trained, well disciplined player who is getting better every day. She has a great club background having been trained under Rick Cole. We are confident she will be a big asset for us on and off the floor."
