They Said It
Head Coach Kelli Trautmann
"It is amazing to see that in our second year as a program we have three players named All-Americans. With a program starting out, Braeden brought senior leadership and knowledge of the game which made a positive impact to the team. It's good to see her getting recognized for her abilities. Jeya has been able to hit and set for us; it's not an easy task to be effective in multiple positions. Jeya is well deserving of this award. Jursey, as a freshman does a great job as a setter. It's been neat to see her leadership step up and shine and also be recognized. They are all great teammates and I'm excited to see their growth as players and to see this team continue improving."
