Junior (2011)
Last year, Natalie improved immensely in her movement, serve receive passing, and serving as a defensive specialist. When she was in the back row, players would always be in sync with her great communication and energy. Natalie is a team player, and will be a key support for our team from the back row.
Sophmore (2010)
Natalie saw limited time on the court her freshman year, but earned every bit of it with her hustle and work ethic. She has been working in the spring season to become more technically sound and bring more consistency to her game. Natalie is working to be a more viable candidate for a defensive specialist. Her determination and hard work has helped her progress towards this spot.
Freshman (2009)
Natalie was a great team player at Principia Upper School in St.Louis, Mo. Natalie has experience setting and as a defensive specialist. We look forward to having her great attitude and work ethic here in Elsah, and this will be a great year for Natalie to grow into the pace of college volleyball.
