, one of our senior captains. Sophia is the type of athlete every coach dreams of having. She shows up every single day, works incredibly hard, and never complains. She is extremely coachable, takes feedback well, and when you ask her to do something, she does it without hesitation or second-guessing. Beyond volleyball, she’s just an amazing human being. It has truly been a joy coaching Sophia and all of her fellow seniors this season. All six of them have made an incredible impact on our program, and they are going to be missed immensely next year. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to coach this group of amazing seniors.”

Austen has established herself as one of the state’s top all-around volleyball players. The Iowa State commitment has been a problem at the pin for many years running and has worked hard at improving her efficiency. She explodes off the court into a big vertical leap and has a plan when preparing to contact the ball, reading the defense and making smart decisions on the swing. A good athlete with quickness and sharp reflexes, Austen has enjoyed her greatest improvements in the back back and in defending at the net. She’s one of those players that influences matches in multiple ways. Austen is at the top of opponents’ scouting reports for good reason.

. She has been a key piece to the rise in her high school team of Iowa City West and her club team of Iowa United. She has a clean, all around game where she can serve receive, pass, and knows how to attack using multiple angles from the outside or backrow. She is looking to make a return trip to the state tournament for West where they have been a top ten team in Iowa’s largest class all season.
