    Favorite Volleyball Moment:
     There are too many that come to mind when it comes to a favorite moment! If I had to choose though, I would have to say it was making it to the Regional Tournament my senior year at Tech. That's the furthest the Huskies have been in over a decade. It made all of the hard work and dedication I put towards this amazing sport worth it!
