I was always around volleyball since I was very young because my sister played in grade school and my dad coached her. I started while I was young and I got a lot of good experience playing against top competition from all around the country at the Junior Olympics.

I've always wanted to do more hitting because there's a certain rush of adrenaline you get when you put one down. I'd say that hitting is more fun and you get more glory doing it. But setting is my biggest strength and it's more important, so I enjoy doing both.

Our main goals are to finish over .500 and to win a couple of tournament games.

This is the most inexperienced team we've had. We're not very big, so ball control and good defense will be our strengths.

Last season was a lot more fun because we had a better record and we were competitive in every match.
