Francis Marion University Athletics

FMU: First-year player at FMU....Starting her volleyball career as a middle and then moving to the pin, she has the knowledge of playing more than one position....Her club had her in the gym training multiple days throughout the week for hours at a time and that training has helped her gain the knowledge to compete at the elite level of Division II....She plays with a chip on her shoulder and you know she wants to prove herself.....A silent, but fierce competitor....Will be exciting to watch for Patriot fans.
