Quoting Coach Abraham:
“As a result of her hard work and dedication to her game in the off season, along with her setting proficiency, Becci has continued to develop into a quality defensive standout. She has excellent all-around volleyball skills, a strong serve and plays with great enthusiasm. A true spark plug on the floor. She will again see mixed roles in her third season as a Crusader, spending time as both a setter and defensive standout. Team speed is essential to our success and Becci is probably one of our fastest defensive players. Like many other Lady Crusader players, pre-season will afford Becci the opportunity to establish herself as a player challenging for playing time. Becci has worked hard in the off-season and has made progress in every facet of her game. Plays with a high degree of intensity and passion. Ready and able to contribute on an everyday basis to make this season her most productive. A gifted athlete with the ability and skills to contribute in a variety of ways and will be looked upon to do just that this Fall.”
