Coach's Comments: " `Sarsy' has been our starting setter for the past two seasons. She will hold that role again this year as she worked hard in the spring making our uptempo offense effective. She sets the ball well to our right sides when she is coming off the net and has a deceptive dump that throws a lot of defensive blocking schemes off."
