Coaches Comments: “Gained valuable playing experience as a freshman, playing on the outside, the middle and right side positions. Coming off a spring season where she further improved her overall skills. Has excellent work ethic and desire to take her game to the highest level possible. Has all the tools to present a big block and a strong attack from anywhere on the floor. Heather will enter the new season smarter, stronger and more confident, as a result of the experience she gained last season. Her attitude and work ethic in the off-season has been exceptional, allowing her to become stronger physically, jump higher and improve her overall volleyball skills. This scholar athlete has all the tools to continue developing into a special player. With Heather, the best is yet to come."
