Winona State to continue her volleyball career after collecting plenty of hardware at Newman Catholic out of Wausau.  She was a 1st Team All State performer this past fall where she can do a little bit of everything for her team.  She is a gritty defender and she can also put up a great ball for her attackers to terminate.  The intangibles of how she can generate momentum for her team is what sets her apart. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block
