"Brielle is a super skilled setter" said Coach Royer-Johnson. "Her club training and competition prepare her right away to help us in the BIG EAST. In addition, her defense and hitting make her an all-around threat for us."
LaMacchia is a 5'4" libero and defensive specialist from Rockville Centre, N.Y. LaMacchia earned three varsity letters during her sophomore, junior and senior years of high school. She tallied 346 digs, 64 assists and 33 aces during the 2018 season. LaMacchia was named to the 2018 All-County, All-State and All-Long Island First Team.

"Caroline has some of the quickest feet I have seen in a long time" said Coach Royer-Johnson. "She covers the floor extremely fast and she has a great serve as well. These skills will allow her to make an impact on the floor right away."
Witte is a 6' 0" outside hitter from Troy, Mo. Witte earned a varsity letter in 2015 and was named to the All-Conference Second Team in her sophomore year. She was a part of the HPSTL Club that won national bids in her 15s, 16s, and 17s years. Â

"Addison has a super strong swing" said Coach Royer-Johnson. "In addition, she reaches very high so I believe she will be a great success at our level. She can hit out of every position and has worked on her passing, making her a great potential 6 rotation player for us."
