Being from London and having the
chance to play in your hometown, how
was the support from your family beneficial
to your achievements this year?
My parents and sister were very supportive
of me — [hearing them] cheering loud at
every game really pumps me up. My dad
made a ton of signs one game and it was
amazing to see them being held by our fans.
How does this year compare with other
successful years you’ve had at other levels
in your volleyball career?
This is the first year that I have been able to
get along with all of my teammates so well.
This is easily the best team that I have ever
played on and my best-ever year in volleyball
as well.
Who was the leader on your team this
year? Who would the team look to for
guidance?
There was never really one person who
always led — everyone just picked each
other up and encouraged one another
throughout the team. Jori [Hardin] always
made me laugh and cheered me up whenever
I saw her.
As impressive and entertaining as your
team’s play is, there seems to be less fan
interest in your sport than in other varsity
sports. How do you feel about that?
We need more fan support. Having [home
court advantage] was huge in the playoffs,
so if more fans came it would generate
that type of support for every game.
The guy’s team is great — [the team
members] come to all of our games and
they keep us motivated all year long with
their support.
