    Favorite Volleyball Moment:
     My favorite moment was at the 2004 Nationals in Houston. We were about to play Triangle 18's, whose star was Megan Hodge (Penn State), and I found out their coach said they would walk all over us. We designed our defense around Hodge and won in two rather decisive games to advance to the top 5. The kids were ecstatic and Nikki Peniata's father, Kelly, dumped a water bottle on my head to celebrate.
